Authority When someone is making a claim to their “authority”, they are stating they have the power or right to give orders and make decisions over their subordinates. The title “authorities” is often, yet incorrectly applied to a person or organization having political or administrative power and control, without contract. Authority can only come from the individual, and to become a “subordinate”, they must willingly, and without coercion give their authority to another. This is usually done through contract, when a person decides to work for someone else, resulting in limited authority being given to the boss, who is limited by the policies written within said contract. If anyone should try and impose their authority onto you, without agreement or contract, then this is a violation of your rights and should be challenged.

teach her to answer to all questions with : "none of your damn business"

Wow! These are the kinds of things that has me really happy we're gonna home school our kids! If we were responsible and gave this to our son, I'd expect him to answer things he'd probably get sent to the principle's office if he wrote in a public school, while we'd praise him! Like, "my phone rings and I check it knowing it's against the rules. Then the teacher asks for it, what so I do?" "I know I broke the rules by checking it, but this is my property and I will not give it to you. I'll turn it off but keep it with me."

What class is this from? It's ridiculous regardless, but I'm curious.

Jesus Christ, this is terrible. Not to mention, the atrocious writing (lack of and misuse of punctuation)!

Thats fucking disgusting

They listed 'Critical Thinking' as a value then built an entire worksheet around not using it. Last scenario is a teacher who lost your homework and gives you a zero. The "correct" answer is apparently accepting it. Schools teaching obedience and calling it character education.

Mark the mistakes in red and send it back! See how they deal with authority. 😀

Oh the answers I would give! The teacher would find themselves arguing against the right to protest.

I'm going out on a limb here that the teacher may have previously lost control of their classroom.

It caused me to feel revulsion.

Oh it’s in every thing I see now. Math questions . . . don’t even get me started.

Glad we started homeschooling. It all seems so stupid, looking back. Can't believe I ever put up with it.

Wow. I always figured compliance and submission to authority was always the real goal of the education system, but now it's this blatantly obvious? I guess it transitioned back into the Prussian system it started as. "Go fuck yourself" is the polite response.

Print this out. Homework Done!

👀 wtf??!!

In fairness the prompt on the second page is at the top, so they're not supposed to be questions, just situations. And yea, authority, in any valid sense, is born of knowledge. A doctor is an authority on medicine. A rancher is an authority on cattle. A teacher is an authority,one might hope, on their subject. You listen to them because it's how you learn, or take necessary direction based on knowledge. But they're never beyond reproach or question, save when time is of the essence (as in a rescue or battle situation, where those questions and second guesses hopefully happened before or get saved for when the delay doesn't get people killed). And authority is always voluntarily followed. Else it isn't authority, but coercion.

Schools always push students to centralization. I am so sorry about the school students. Especially in a small country like my country, which is Sri Lanka. In my childhood, school was very disgusting for me. I went there just to hang with my friends. It didn't let me just learn the subjects I am interested in. Like it or not, every student had to learn the same subject. It is kind of a thing like there are a monkey, elephant, deer, and turtle then someone asks to climb the tree. But I learned well, as I had no other option to raise my family and selected the university. I felt this is not the path I would love, and I left the university and after that gradually came here. Thanks to my parents, my brother @Samalka Hansana, sister, @Jurjen de Vries, @Tomek ⚡ K and @rabble. Hard to mention everyone here. Love all of the golden hearts who helped me. 🫂
