Thanks you for realizing that. I have a friend who gets very good grades (As and a few Bs), but her parents judge her sister according to her grades. Her sister gets some As, mostly Bs and a few Cs, which are still good grades for academic classes, but her sister gets pushed by her parents to do as well as her. They need to realize that children are individuals and try to judge what they do only when compared to their previous work.
Exactly. Most people do not realize this. Most people also realize that children need to experience some mistakes. Parents just have to keep it so that they learn from the mistake, but are not hurt or arrested for the mistake. They must keep the child from doing extreme things, such as breaking laws, but every child needs a few scares. They need to get punished, then realize that the next time that they think about breaking a rule. Schools seem to be extremely strict now. Just last year, me and a few of my friends spent all of our study hall's in the library doing homework. Although we socialized, we did get work done. The librarians saw us as a threat to everyone else quiet (although many others were being even more disruptive than we were). Therefore, me and my friends (me, my cousin, and one of my friends composing the Top 3 in academics of our grade), were kicked out of the library. Do I think we should have been allowed to stay? Maybe. I would have been fine with us getting kicked out, if the said offending groups were kicked also. If schools wish to have these policies, they should try to enforce them properly, then they would realize that zero-tolerance policies are too drastic, and properly enforcing more relaxed rules could give a better overall effect.
Onto the subject of IT, they should employ knowledgable people. This may or may not apply in this case, but at my school, librarians have the ability to rule over computers that they have no idea how to use. Thank god the man who teaches the computer classes is good enough to help the rest of the school.
