After all the rules are the rules are the rules, don't forget to genuflect before the almighty lawbook. /sarc
Stupid rules are stupid. Stupid applications of well meaning rules are also stupid. If the rules are not written to take into account instances in which the rules should not apply, as many petty rules are, then the rules should be tossed.
Increasingly, we see cases where people in authority are incapable of administering the rules with any sense of prosecutorial discretion.
Inner city kids are supposed to use school facilities after hours to play on outside basketball courts, but a few kids cannot use a snow pile to play on a snow day?
When authority is ludicrous, we rebel, in one way or another. Ever go faster than the posted speed limit?
As for homeschooling, at home the rules make sense.
With the incredible number of rules and regulations being promulgated daily, virtually anyone is in violation of some rule, somewhere, sometime. And the situation is getting worse, not better. Before long, every whiner who thinks "there ought to be a law" will have their way and we can all be in thrall to the state.
yup.
either the du's are here or the socialists have taken over.
