Ok, well, only in the sense that I'm starting to want to tell the government (especially the state government) to get the heck out of my life - my children's lives.
Recently found in the Student Handbook of the Junior High and High School in my area the following statement in a BIG BLACK BOX.
"Refusal to Obey
The refusal to obey a teacher or a principal in a legitimate directive will be considered a most serious violation of school policy and it may results in suspension from school. Even if you do not agree with what you have been told to do or do not understand why you have been told to do something, do as you are told. If you still feel that what you were asked to do was inappropriate, you may then discuss the matter with the principal, assistant principal, and/or your parents/guardians at a later time."
[emphasis was theirs]
Am I completely off with this one? I'm I not getting it? Do I just not understand?
I have so many problems with this statement I don' t know where to begin... as it's 12:30 am ... perhaps I won't begin. Perhaps I'll let you comment, if you so choose.
