Re: Ohio Student Points Finger Like Gun, Is Suspended
I have often found that when someone thinks that another politician is "honest" it is more often than not because that politicians shares their views.
Organization of such things costs money. Something most people that send kids to public school cannot afford. So who knows?
You're a statist haymarket. Of course you think this.
Mob rules is 9 times out of 10 not wise. Individual people are often smart. Mobs are not.
You're the one that said that you would prefer a system like the Japanese has since it has given "amazing results". It's relatively singular culture is why it works there. It never would here. The US has too varied a culture comparitively.
Yep you did, of which I am thankful. And I commented on them. No more, no less.
And they can feel that way all that they want. But their feelings should not interfere with my childs rights.
You may not have. But you definitely said things that were along his lines. But then that is to be expected. Alot of idiots listened to him and came up with their own versions of what he said and touted it as their own. So you probably have heard his stuff without even realizing it.
(1) I spent the last three years working in the Michigan legislature and there were times I shared your frustration. However, there are honest ones and I worked with them.

(2) In a nation of 315 million people, of course there is going to be opinion either way on most issues. My point was a serious organized effort and evidence of it.

(3) Little rebellions may indeed have a role in some situations. I am of the opinion - having spent 33 years in the public school system - that rules are better challenged and changed by going through established procedures - both on the student level and on the parental level with both the school and the Board who made the rules in the first place. It has been my experience that in school rebellions are not looked upon favorably and rarely get the results they strive for. But that is just my experience.

(4) Again, a policy that you judge to be "idiotic" has been judged by others as wise and necessary. Again, there is a way for parents to challenge this without using their kids as pawns and telling them to break the rules to advance the parents agenda.

(5) what does culture of the Japanese have to do with one national standard in the USA?

(6) You asked for reasons and I gave you some that may be in the minds of the advocates. No more and no less than that.

In the end, some parents felt that it was threatening to their child for another child to make a motion to them that imitated a gun shooting at them. You are free to feel that is going too far, but for some obviously it was not going too far.

I am sorry but I do not watch Dr. Phil so I cannot comment about your statement in that area.
