What the "Rule" Reveals...

Yep...another vent. :)

Everyone knows I work in a school. Private one. Well, we have a dress code...which, of course, is the focus of unbelievable amounts of drama by just a few students (challengers) and a few parents. If only they realized what the stupid "battle" reveals...about them. Of course, why would we EVER challenge the kid that just seems to push the limits constantly?? The answer??...BECAUSE they push the limits CONSTANTLY, and no one wants to call a spade a spade.I actually have some parents who have a vendetta against other people's kids because they want to be sure that their kid isn't the only one getting addressed. Kinda cruel really. I have others who freak out when their kid gets in trouble because it somehow means they are a bad parent. Not true! Who would even think so? So frustrating.  Not addressing things?...Not a very good sign of so many things that I'd think would be important to a parent. Think about the future, people???...not the future of what they will wear...the future of WHO they will be until they have just the right amount of Hard Knocks. Insecure at minimum...Sad. (Some have their whole identity wrapped up in what they wear.) Disrespectful and self-focused...Tragic. (Some will never be taken seriously by a boss, etc.) Rebellious...Don't get me started...

The suggested answer???...have MORE rules. Yep, let's punish the majority of the others who humbly respect the requests of their authority with a sizable dose of legalism.

Barf.
