We do what we were told

[curious george]

Need to vent, not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings, after one year in IUSD, one year in US, it’s just unbelievable how the individuals that we came a cross with in different subjects  (can be teachers, secretaries, service provides, etc’) – are following so closely “by the book”, there is no room for some open mind, different opinion,  a judgment call…..everyone seems to be scared to think, to express their own opinion.
They follow the rules , they do what they were told to do…no creativity, no room to handle specific situation.
Innovation, thinking differently, creativity….maybe just a small percent have this privilege, all of that from an observation of one year…the future is not shining.

IHS.

Also, you mentioned one year in the US, what country are you from?

It depends what creativity you want and what Rules they are following.

HOAs if they're smart are stringent because being lax leads to greater problems enforcing even reasonable measures.

Schools have many items they are particularly limited on by law and even more on in order to prevent the tsunami of special treatment.

It's also all complicated by the mix of cultures and differing attitudes towards bakheesh further complicated by strong government worker unions.

You are going to need to be more specific to elicit sympathy.  IUSD having been blasted for using Common Core strategies that are not the "norm" for most parents.

Baksheesh for IUSD teachers?  Next thing you know, I'll have Indian transsexual gypsies knocking at my door threatening to curse me unless I bribe them to go away.

It wasn't that long ago when an Asian couple sued IUSD for being made to give bribes to teachers for their son's education.
