Is it really that bad? I mean you can't bust a kids balls even so slightly.

In some places--yes. Any thing that could offend, insult, hurt the self-esteem---is bad and you can be reprimanded for it.

Politics here-but it is my thread.....especially when liberal policies take effect.

Students come first. Defend the student All other be damned. Admin loves to micromanage professionals. I know it is taught in admin school.

Getting that now.. "I heard from the students that......"

Did you come in and see or are you just taking what you hear from kids talking in the hall and using that as gospel?
