This school is not teaching the kids, so much as teaching the PARENTS, about adult responsibilities.

One of which is: exposing their precious snowflakes to the valuable experience of natural and logical consequences.

This leads to a phenomenon called "maturity".

This is a high school. That means that they could be exposing 14 year olds to adult responsibilities since this is their reasoning. But when did the instructors of a topic like math and history become experts on the rearing of other people’s children? One of my responsibilities as a parent is my efforts for the safety of my children. When schools start to overstep that need, they are, in some cases, also countermanding the wishes of the parent. If a parent notices an error was made, anything at all, and is refused access to their child, the school is bordering on the edge of kidnapping. And it doesn’t matter why, or who is responsible, I will see my child or I will be calling law enforcement and we’ll see just how good their sign is. The school is not the parent. They are paid to teach them the skills to make their living financially in the outside world. My job as a parent is to teach them the skills to survive with the skills they are taught and how to be a good representation of society. They teach them what makes a car go. I teach them not to step in front of one.
