ha, i know what you mean, even if i don't agree. Schools are teaching kids to roll over and play dead for cops right now, i guess.
Not sure what that means.
However kids should be taught to obey authority.
they work for me, not the other way around,
Actually they work for the government with authority to serve the public.
so once one gets "keeping the law" down--which i guess is what you meant here; even if you seem to be against that in other posts?
I never said I was against the law. I said more to the point, not all laws apply to everyone.
dunno--it becomes about my requirements for them, which i guess sounds uppity or whatever, but it isn't like that either. Let's just say the respect should be mutual lol
I think I see what you are saying...more like your child is under your direction, even when that direction conflicts with other authorities?
I agree with that to a point.
I taught my children to obey police officers, but then also taught them some other things that go along with that...such as;
To ask for identification; how to recognize legit. Id, and uniform; immediately ask for a parent to be summoned; if ever held, to answer no questions, or give a made up scenario, even if asked to, to not draw pictures, and repeatedly ask for a parent and if they can leave....that type of stuff.
As far as teachers; the same, to do as they say, and if uncomfortable or think it wrong; immediately aks for a pass to leave the room, and go to the office and call me.
And always prior as the school year would begin, I always met with every teacher my children were assigned to and personally gave them my own "they can not whatever", and then asked if "they" had any issue with that, now was the time to object.
It is simply teaching kids to understand what authority is, that they respect who has authority over them at any given time, and that What they are not mature enough to do for themselves, one of their parents is always available ANY time to step in.
