-How about some common sense? Would that be so hard?-
In second grade I popped a piece of gum into my mouth during class. The teacher said, -did you bring gum for everybody?- Of course, I had not, so I had to spit it out. This is the same attitude. They can not let the slightest infraction of the rules go because then they would be playing favorites. -You let her wear gun shaped shoes. Why am I not allowed a water pistol.- Liberals run the world and they are all second grade teachers inside. As long as the slavishly follow the rules, they can not be criticized.
Heck, when I was in high school I got called out by the teacher for chewing gum. I hate gum. I was not chewing but she made me change my seat anyway. Sometimes teachers are just plain wrong.
I once made sure to take one of those large packs of gum, and the teacher was very irked when told yes,I DID bring enough for everyone!!!
