[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread has made me realize that while I consider myself an anxious parent/human being, some are waaaaaay beyond that.

Or maybe they’re just angry that they have to play by school rules instead of school following their rules.[/quote]

Every year I have parented in the public school system, my faith in the school placing the interests of the students over its own interest has dropped. It’s my job to look out for my kid, and sometimes rejecting the school’s rules is the best way to do that. [/quote]

In another year or two, you'll be a sovereign citizen.[/quote]

Had to google it to respond. No, you don't have to be a tax protester or a survivalist in Montana to question the policies of our public school system. And most normal people only half-obey stupid rules: how many people actually go the speed limit, or never jaywalk? This is a stupid rule that lots of families are going to roll their eyes at. My kid will know not to use his phone during instructional time, how to get his phone out of the pouch if he needs it, and will be trusted to use his own judgment on when that is. If you want to pray at the altar of FCPS, go for it, but plenty of us aren't with you on that.[/quote]
You don’t know what a sovereign citizen is? No wonder you are addicted to your phone. It’s your dictionary. Do you know what a dictionary is? Did you make it to middle school?[/quote]

:roll: I made it to middle school, high school, college, law school, and now teach as an adjunct law professor, all without a phone addiction. I work in a room full of books, including a regular dictionary and a law dictionary. I don't take particular interest in the anarchist set and so have not learned about sovereign citizens. Nevertheless, I'm not a fan of school or government overreach. There is actually a middle ground where one generally buys into the idea of government as a general matter but thinks that government should appropriately constrain itself.[/quote]
