Sounds like your son was being the classroom smartass.

Yep. Teaching and schools may be going to shite but I have no doubt that teachers still know when somebody is being a smartass when they see it.

And, of course, being pulled into the hall and told "Don't do that" is now being spun as "got in trouble" and the rotors of the helicopter parent have now been set in motion and the principal is going to have to listen to an hour long dissertation on how yet another special little snowflake has been wronged by the system.
