Mr. Killman, I'd be inclined to agree if not for the fact that the "rule" broken here seems to me to be an arbitrary one. When parents try to have exceptions made for their kids, or when students themselves seek exceptions from rules that are sensible and a benefit to their learning, then it is important to support the authority (and as an anarchist, I have a hell of a time saying that) and the judgment of the administration. In this situation, however, I have to respectfully disagree with you. This strikes me as the action of an administrator who didn't think through the situation at hand, and thoughtlessness smacks to me of poor leadership.
