[QUOTE="Utrecht, post: 516548, member: 1411"] Tevalon, Take a look at Mercule's advice - he very eloquently stated what I was attempting to. There are good ways to win arguments and there are bad ways. When I was in High School I too had a very much an us versus them attitude - after all the man is trying to keep all of us down. However, after bashing my head against the wall in my pig-headed attempts at changing the system I learned a couple of things - and that people do not like being defied. However *most* people do not mind having a civil discussion as to why a decsion is made. Again, having a spouse who is an administrator - and actually talking with some of those that I dispised in High School - I was reminded that EVERY story has two sides. Now. if this AP is as narrow-minded as you have portrayed her - I am sure she will not be an AP for very much longer - the system corrects itself. However, what I am suspecting is that you are frustrated at some of her decisions - because they are in conflict with what you would have done and are reading to much into her statements. After all, it would be pretty silly to get yourself all worked up about this - then sit down with her and ask her why - and she actually listens - give the woman a chance to do here job and in *most* cases you will get what you want. But again, listen to what mercule has written - it is very good LIFE advice - it will server you above and beyond what happens in this situation. edited for grammar edited for grammar [/QUOTE]
