Lets say there's a street near my house that doesn't have any posted speed limit. How do I know what speed to drive? I take all relevant info and make the educated guess that if this road were to be signed, it would be 20 MPH. It would be wrong of me to just make something up like "All red cars should go 100 MPH, all orange ones can go 65 MPH, green ones have to go 10 MPH". It has to make sense. I can't just make up whatever I want. There has to be some set of facts that leads me to believe that car color has anything to do with speed limit.
One big difference if the fact that one is a student (teenager as you said before) and the other is a licensed pilot (adult to use your example).
Again, you're equating a student pilot with a teenager. That is to say someone who can't be held responsible for anything by the FAA. I totally disagree with this belief.
One is YOUR STUDENT and YOUR RESPONSILBITY and the other is not. You don't have a right to tell some other parent how to raise or punish their kid - but you should be paying attention to your own.
I'm not sure where you're going with this. A student I'm giving training to is not my child. I am not responsible for
that person. I am responsible for
that person's training. Theres a big difference. The signoff is not
my signoff. It's
an FAA signoff that happens to have been given by me, in accordance to parts 61.87. it's the FAA that grants the student the privilege to fly solo. I'm just declaring that I gave the training and witnessed the student performing to specification.
If you feel his way then that is alright. It is your interpolation. Are you trying to change everyone's mind to think like you?
I'm just expressing my opinion.
You live in a strange school district. I've been around teachers and schools for more than 20 years and I've never heard a Math teacher changing a Biology teacher's grade. Plus - please show me a case where a high school teacher has gone back to your elementary school grades and changed them. You are really reaching on this point IMO.
I said "if". It's a hypothetical. Also, the last sentence should read "the school district has made
no rules".
Then quit arguing with everyone on the site who are trying to give you their views and go get the info from the horse's mouth. If you really want to have a discussion of the point you need to be willing to *listen* too.
If this thread was started with an idea already in your head - then you should have phrased your first post better. You should have posted as a statement instead of a question.
