Amen. It even applies to teachers. I have drilled it into my kids’ brains since they started school. DO NOT answer questions in the principal’s office (or elsewhere) about trouble without my presence, especially if a police officer is present or is asking the questions. They know to say, “Call my parents. I’m not answering any questions without Mom or Dad.” They’ve been tested a time or two on it by administrators and did exactly what they were supposed to do.
Proud parents, I’m sure.
Kudos.
