What scares me is this guy is passing on moral code for people to shop there. What makes him the moral leader? People like this are dangerous.

Yeah, the last thing we want it to make kids think of their education before their entertainment. A real villain, this guy.

I hear you, but it's not a salesmanager's job to make the kids aware of that, at least not when it hampers the income of the store he's supposed to make profitable. It's a nice thought of the guy, i'll give you that, but methinks he has an obligation to the man who's responsible for his monthly paycheck. It's first and foremost the parents who should make their kids aware of their priorities in life, and schoolteachers come in second. Salesmanagers fall in a different categorie.

He is also telling them what they can say and how they should dress. The world would be a scary place if we all talked and looked the same.

It's a form of discrimination, regardless of whether we view it as good or bad.

No, i'm the same. I jumped school alot, simply because I found it boring as hell. I was off doing my own thing, which didn't have to mean I was getting high simply because I choose not to go to school - whatever interested me. I use very little of the core subjects that I spent years "learning", and can get into any college I want as it is. So yeah, I personally would agree that it was an incredible waste of time for me. I could have been focusing on my own chosen fields of education and pursued it myself, rather than inside a class that was filled with disruptions, and channelled through teachers that were so jaded with their job that a robot would have done better.

You say it would be boring if we all talked same, and yet you yourself want everyone to follow your thinking. And if somone, like this man, dares to think differently you call him dangerous. You thought of that?

So where do we draw the line for appropriate behavior? While I can appreciate what this guy is trying to do, it's not his job to parent my kids. That's my job, and their grades are between my child, my child's school, and myself. I didn't have a problem telling my child she couldn't play games if she had homework to do. This is the limiter, for me. I don't need outside influences on my parenting, when it was an issue.
However, just as a for instance, say we let this guy have his way. What's next? Will the mall be the next one to say, "Hey, you're not dressed to our standards, you can't come in". Maybe the grocery store? While this may seem harmless, it sets a precedent for it to continue, and some standards may be higher than others. What happens when the grocer refuses to sell you groceries because your hair is too long, or too short? It's funny too, as I sit here typing, reading the flashy sig of ZFR. Freedom, prosperity, and creativity, so long as you do it how I say?
