I have always told my students that they don't have to say the Pledge, but that they are not allowed to be disruptive or distracting to the other students.
Sub teacher should have called the parents and discussed it with them after the second day, if it was bothering her that much. As far as she knows, the student was playing the age-old game, "Let's act up for the sub teacher".
Student should have said something to mom and dad after the first day: "I don't want to stand for the Pledge; the sub says I have to; what should I do?" Sorry, but saying "Go jump in a lake" isn't the worst thing said, but is still disrespectful.
They were both in the wrong. It should not have went on for 4 days. Either one of them should have brought it up to the administration or parents to see how it could have been resolved.
