Thanks For Your Opinion
Before I address your opinion, let me tell you that your
description of my daughter, dead, was not welcome.
It's gross and totally extreme and really had no place in this
discussion. I can't believe you said such a thing and it lowers my opinion of you. You need some type of help, for that description alone. I wish you the best.
Your mixing apples and oranges here.
Here are my responses,
"Why is it so hard for you to admit that you and your wife made a mistake in parenting and are the root cause"
It's not hard to admit it. We didn't make a mistake, we fought
back against an idiotic rule. Not the uniform policy itself,
just that it shouldn't be applyed on picture, it's that simple.
If the school can have so-called "tag" days when kids dress out
and bring a dollar to school, it doesn't seem like the end of civilization as we know it to dress nicely on SCHOOL SPONSORED
picture day. THAT'S OUR OPINION & POSITION.
"As much as I disagree with your daughter's not receiving a suitable work area"
Is that all you can do is "disagree" with them sticking my daughter in a large auditorium, unsupervised the entire day??
I have a feeling that you would have MUCH MORE than disagreed
if it would have been YOUR DAUGHTER.
In fact, I'm POSITIVE of that!
What if there would have been an emergency such as a fire or bomb threat. Do you think they would have remembered about
my child??? Whose to say really??
When I said that to one of the school board members,
the lady actually blushed!
"You and your wife have a duty to teach her that school rules must be followed"
You're partially right.
We have a duty to teach her that ALL rules must be followed, not just school rules. But we must also teach that there are stupid,
idiotic rules that people make without taking all things into
consideration.
Because a certain rule is implemented, that doesn't mean it's right. When I was growing up there was a missed homework
rule. If you missed homework you had to stick your hand out
in front of the class while the teacher wacked your open palm
with a ruler. That's was the class rule so I guess in your eyes,
being that it was an accepted rule, that would be ok!??
I think not.
I see no difference here.
We need to use good judgement when following rules.
Just because it's a rule, that doesn't make it right.
There are plenty of bad rules and laws, haven't you noticed??
