Ha ha nice!! I am busy pointing out the logical inconsistencies of school desiring my bilingual child to be on campus for a first period English class (when she has already passed the final exam) but then allowing her to sit in the library and study alone, citing that all children must receive a minimum number of hours of instruction. She is not in fact receiving any instruction, so why does she have to be there? She’s a straight A student. Given the time, she teaches herself all kinds of stuff. She is currently learning American Sign Language for her own pleasure, but really so she can talk shit with her friends! She’s following a philosophy course at school that is not required merely because she respected my opinion that it would be much more beneficial to her than English as a second language when she is a native speaker. So she is above the minimum hours of instruction anyway. But getting her excused has been a months long exercise in talking to brick walls who don’t see the lack of logic, don’t see her for who she is and has turned us all off this school. If we keep up the good work we might get expelled too!! One can only hope. Meanwhile it’s perfectly fine for the school to pull kids out of class to evangelize for the sterilization of children. As they say here, even if you beat me to death I could not explain it. I remember the first time I really understood how bureaucracy is a cover for accountability: while reading the grapes of wrath in my twenties. And so an early hatred of bankers was incubated. Even reading such classics would be better for us all than sitting in bullshit classes. I have had to spend a lot of money buying said classics because they don’t read them in school anymore! Sigh
