Quite so. I forget sometimes the heirarchy of scholastic bureaucracy here. The dunderheads are the ones who make the ridiculous policy then, not those who are stuck with enforcing it. I forget that the buck doesn't stop with the Superintendent.
Then again, who is advising the school board?
Oooh, what a vicious cycle this becomes...
