ALso, all the host moms were such sweeties and let us do what we wanted. LOVE THEM.

Well, that's great that your host brother took the fall for you. That's very common for Japanese hosts to do for guests. Maybe what you weren't quite catching was that the teacher or principal or whoever didn't have direct authority over YOU so he had to direct the rule to the person he did have authority to. You may have felt like "he didn't care" but now that kid has (or had) a mark on his record until graduation.
