A neighbor (gt) boy actually was pretty severely penalized at school for a similar comment about a teacher (boy was age 10-ish). In the world of 'zero tolerance' this sort of comment from an older boy just kidding around/venting could have serious repercussions, so just fyi / be warned.
I have heard ds10 say something that was kind of borderline, too, so I quickly reminded him of his friend and the very serious circumstances that could occur. I made it clear to him that I do not agree with how this boy was punished, completely out of proportion to the actual offense, but that you simply want to avoid completely this sort of trouble.
