(2,857 posts)11. Kids in school have very limited "rights"
The schools make the rules if you plan on going to public school. What to wear, hair length, piercings or hair color is all determined by school rules. Our kids were also not allowed to bring drinks from home because some spoiled kids decided to start day drinking at school and filled their water bottles with vodka. If you don't like the rules you can always choose the home school option which is an option in every county.

I take it the way you take it... that he's illustrating a point using their words.
