The one on the right needs a good hard spanking!

BBC News – July 19, 2006:

A mother has branded her daughter’s school “mad” after she was disciplined for going to school without a blazer on the hottest day of the year.

Fifteen-year-old Aimee Dickson, of Armthorpe, Doncaster, was told to go home and collect her blazer by her headmaster at Armthorpe Comprehensive.

Mum Dawn Dickson said her daughter rang shortly after school began to say she was being sent home to get her blazer.

Mrs Dickson said her husband had to take his daughter’s blazer into school.

He spoke to the headmaster who said it was school policy for pupils to carry their blazers at all times.

Mrs Dickson said: “He said if they feel it gets too hot they can ask permission to take their blazers off, but they must carry or wear them at all times.

    30: So what great invention can we expect from this young schoolgirl when told to carry her blazer even though it was very hot? 🙂

    I’m sure your founding fathers had rules when they were growing up. Who knows whether they thought any of the rules were stupid.

    This story really looks like it could be from The Onion.

    Wow…

    #29 – I guess this just proves what’s wrong with this country (USA), the serious lack of discipline by our youth…which eventually grow up to become undisciplined adults that take no responsiblity for their own actions (or lack of). Seriously though, it’s not about mindless following of rules, it’s about being responsible. Authority in this case is really there to teach, I am not saying that people should not question authority.

    #30 – I think those are pretty extreme, besides…I never stated that people should go along with the crowd. Who’s following blindly? You keep saying that repeatedly but you neglect to mention that there are people in this instance that have the choice to follow the rules or not, the latter meaning enrolling in another school. No one is forcing this girl to attend this particular school.
