I have come to understand that schools are messed up and will remain messed up. Meanwhile, I have children to raise. I don't think probem A should be allowed to interfere with problem B. You may think it's running away but I guarantee you that even if they eventually decide Mike's daughter can have a nose ring they will do something almost though not exactly the same to another kid next week. In my opinion the whole paradigm is flawed. The argument that we should stick around so schools won't become even more dysfunctional requires that we subject our children to the system. What the teacher did was wrong and if I were Mike I would not want my daughter learning otherwise. Especially not my daughter.
