KayAnn back when I was in school when the dinosaurs roamed the earth you wouldn't believe the dress code we had in public school. This poor boy would have most definitely been called down to the office as well. Kids today are pretty much allowed to dress in a very relaxed manner (jeans, etc.) where when I was in school girl had to wear dresses or skirts and blouses - absolutely no slacks! No sandals in the summer and we had no air conditioning in the schools back then. We begged to be able to wear shorts during final exams but the answer was always NO! See I told you I was older than dirt! LOL!

I think the thing that is so sad with your story is that this boy might be being singled out and that is a shame. The teacher sounds like she is putting in hours to get a paycheck and probably should find another profession. Obviously she isn't teacher material. I hope you just keep on being his friend. In the meantime be glad you don't have to dress the way us *old folks* did back in the Dark Ages.
