Points

At our local high school, kids receive "points" for misbehavior. So, at the end of the quarter, the kids with the least points are the winners. I'm so confused.

Today, Rachel texted me to tell me that she "got points" for having a water bottle in class and that she would need a doctor's order to "remove the points" and be allowed to drink water from a water bottle at school.

I immediately called the doctor's office (so as not to rant to any school officials) to request such order. The nurse was not surprised in the least. She told me that she actually had to send an order to the high school earlier in the school year so that a student would be allowed to apply sunscreen before any outside activities.

Yet, in Illinois, school officials can legally take our underage daughters to obtain abortions without parental knowledge or approval. Would any of us be super-surprised to see Jesus on the eastern horizon in the morning?
