policy helps to teach about responsible alcohol consumption?
I’m not so worried about the double standard, although I agree that there is one. I also agree that the American attitude doesn’t necessarily teach responsible alcohol consumption. However, I don’t think that we can teach responsible consumption by defying authority and breaking rules! As I said earlier, I used to have parents sign a “permission slip,” and I didn’t give it a second thought. But when I was called on the carpet at a school board meeting that went on into the wee hours of the morning, I realized that my attempt to follow the rules and be above board could have cost me my job, continuing contract or no! It simply isn’t worth it! Therefore I again caution teachers, especially those who are new to the chaperon business, to check the school policy carefully before proceeding. If I were teaching at the college level this might not be an issue, but it’s a big deal in the high school.
