I was just thinking today how glad I was to be unschooling because my kids
can dress how they want. I explained the meaning of the word 'arbitrary' to
my 7 yo nephew and helped him understand how to use it appropriatly in
conversation with his teacher at school. I also explained 'insubordination'
as that is what he will be punished for when he uses that word with his
teacher :) *sigh*

This brought back a great memory for me. When I was 10, in 1969, the
school rule was that we girls could wear pants to school only on cold
days. (Prior to that, girls couldn't wear pants at all.) There were a
lot of cold mornings followed by warm afternoons. The vice-principal
came up to me on the playground and told me that I shouldn't be wearing
pants. He was mean about it and I cried. When I got home my mom phoned
him and gave him an earful about the "arbitrary" and "capricious" rule.
(A great vocabulary lesson as well as a nice model of how to stick up
for oneself against institutional bullying.)
