“I like to talk a lot, and so my teacher kept emailing my dad about it,” he told BuzzFeed News.

His dad stated that Bradley “likes to be the life of the party, which gets him in trouble from time to time.”

Speaking of the incident, dad Bradley said: “For some reason I said, ‘Hey, if we get another call I’m going to show up in school and sit beside you in class.'”

Unfortunately for the teenager, his parents were called again.

“Friday is my only day off, so my wife wakes me up and says, ‘Brad, it’s time for you to go to school.’ I thought, ‘Oh no, what have I done?’” his dad said.

“I didn’t even notice him until after I had said hi to all of my friends, but I was super shocked,” the teenager recounted.

“I was a bit nervous being there among the teenagers,” the father said. “Mentally I hadn’t prepared to go into a situation like that.”

However, his son’s friends seemed to have a good time with the situation.

Dad Brad said: “I think they had a good time. Especially knowing that Bradley was put in an uncomfortable situation,” adding that the physics teacher seemed grateful.
