So it's ok to teach the child that he can do whatever he wants...break any rules...it's ok..
No. That's just as stupid as teaching him to unquestioningly obey every tin-horn beaureaucrat.
The important thing is to instill a love of freedom and independent thinking.
It's not an either/or proposition.
As a matter of fact at times it is ok to break the rules. Do you just sit at a trafic lite when you sat there for ten minutes and you know it't broke? If your kid has a bad accident at home and has a life threatening injury do you obey the speedlimit on the way to hospital? Would you be afraid to defend your self or family with a handgun because your city goverment has outlawed them? You see, it is okay to break the rules at times.
What is your problem?
I would have done the same thing if my ONLY parent was in a war zone and I only got to talk to that parent every so often!
You are just as narrow minded as those School Administrators!
It's a stupid policy anyway,since he was on his LUNCH and not in Class disrupting the Teacher!
