I think most likely, the kid is gonna think
1)Most people are idiots
2)Most rules were created by people
3)Therefore, most rules are stupid
4)Hence, most rules are meant to be challenged,bent or broken.
That, my friend, is Harvard material.
If there is any question why the lawyers won’t be going away anytime soon in this country, it’s because there’s plenty of stupid rules/laws for which one constantly needs attorney to challenge.
Imagine if this stupid rule was at high school, and someone was suspended for it, and it does go on the kid’s record. In that case, yeah it would make a dent in the kid’s future. Yeah, I’m sure most parents would be having a field day with that.
This is exactly what happens when big brother starts reaching into people’s private lives and trying to do what parent should be doing. And that’s exactly why you’re always going to have attorneys around.
One comment on the blog on the first link summed it up pretty well

Public education is like national health care. It’s a race to the bottom.
