as always the innocent get punished for the guilty
Absolutely. Your comment fits perfectly with one of my pet observations of human behavior: There are very few people who ever really leave the Third Grade mentality. They just get older and more dangerous.
In your comment, you highlight two perfect examples -
“No that rule doesn’t apply to us.” [They never SAY that, because it would be admitting something. They just ignore you. Or, at most, deny what they said the rule was.]
Also: “HeadOn was talking during quiet time, so NO ONE gets recess today.”
Have a great week. Don’t let it get to you. I’ve read the last chapter, and we win. (Revelation..)
