That's the American Way.
The kids have learned it, but it’s actually a detriment to teaching, since they waste lots of time asking questions. And I don’t mean important questions, I mean each child believes they have the right to be individually told every detail of why they have to do anything. That works fine for one or two kids at a time. It’s not so fine when you have 28.

In America, the people are sovereign, i.e. we are the authority and gvt employees (inc LEO) are public servants.
