Ugh my day was not so good

I went to school mostly in the 50's. I homeschooled my son (born 1975) til 8th grade, his choice; he wanted the social contacts. He is still one of those never-met-a-stranger people. Do not have any idea how he managed to tolerate the absurdities of the system in the 90's, but he did, and graduated. Now my DIL is a teacher, and things are obviously even more absurd. (I was the first homeschooler in my county, or more accurately, the first one who they recorded.)

I have to agree that it takes real maturity to survive and prosper in this system. 20 years ago I would have said, things get better in the adult world. Not even sure that is the case any more!

What she said! I think you show tremendous maturity in recognizing they have a job to do, despite the negative consequences of their actions on you and your attempt to just go to school today! It's a pain, but in order to squash chaotic crud, they have to bug people without intent or malicious behavior.

I'm sorry it had to put a dent in your day, but- you need to get on gettin' on, because the world needs more mature, thinking, intelligent peeps like you and your bad self!

I just hope my girls like boys like you and not like the other vermin...
 
Sounds like you have some great teachers/principals and it sounds like you are a great kid, cuz you took it all in stride.
