Schools Have Rules
Schools have rules. They want you to follow them. They want you to tell the truth as well. Sometimes it is hard to tell the truth and follow their rules. Some of the rules are easy to follow while others are not so easy. So what happens if you follow some and not all? Can you still stay there? Are you still part of their student body? Is it better to lie on when asked the questions or tell the truth and get punished for being honest?
Schools have this policy of no TV’s in the house. They don’t want to accept “those” type of children into their schools. They don’t want the kids to watch TV, as it is evil and bad for them. TV is bad for you. There is nothing good on TV so therefore don’t watch it and you cannot have it in your house.
My question is like this. If a potential student comes with good qualification, and the family is a good family, why is the TV issue so threatening that the school will NOT accept the student based on the TV. If you have a TV in your house, don’t bother applying to certain schools. They don’t want TV’s in their students’ houses. Just eliminate the evil thing. If the potential student is smart, creative, good kid, too bad You have a TV, we don’t want you.
But what about the grandparents? The student can go to the grandparent’s house and watch all the TV they want…that isn’t against the rules. Or if the neighbor has one, go ahead, watch. As long as you don’t have one in your house. Who cares if you have more access to watching TV or have unlimited exposure at other peoples houses. You don’t have one at home, that is what counts. But you know what. The ones who have a TV at home have more rules about it. Have more rules about when and how and what they can watch. It is not unlimited. They don’t abuse the privilege of watching they know what they can see and what is not for them. They know their limit. Those who don’t have a TV don’t know their limit and watch when ever they can whenever they go somewhere that has one.
So who is right? The ones with a TV who know their limit? Or the ones who watch whenever they can and that can be very often?
