I won't claim I'm inarguably in the right, I'm just not a fan of forcing behaviours into kids. But disrespecting what I think is a poor idea isn't dogmatic, everybody holds different concepts to varying regards because absolute rulings are almost always illogical, which is my point against aFairy's style of parenting regarding elders.

oh my.. 
Lets not argue over this, everybody is entitled over his / hers own opinion.
Reading my message back, I understand it can come across like forceful parenting.
Which it's not. I am not a native English speaker, so not always easy to explain what I want to say.
Respecting elders in my book is: adres them as : sir, ma'am or whatever title is in place. Talk to them with respect. Listen when they speak, don't interrupt.. basic communications , in my eyes.
My punishments go from: saying sorry in a respectful manner ( own up to your mistakes) to taking her phone or laptop away for a certain time. nothing immensely over the top.
Thank You dear Elle, for having my back

Off at a slight tangent....
I had a tough parenting challenge last week, when we went to parents' evening and daughter's music teacher was complaining that she had had an unfair advantage in her recent mock exams because she had revised past papers available online and he had set a complete one for the test.
So we wrangled about all the other teachers telling students to find previous papers as a revision method, and maybe he should have made some adjustments to his test (not enough resources), was he saying she cheated (no he wasn't, although daughter had been aggrieved for some time because he has said this to her in class as a 'joke'), the fact she'd got 100% in the performance and composition elements of the exam so maybe her good result wasn't too far off the mark (he said she should do 'reasonably well').....and all this discussion in front of daughter.
I found myself very uncomfortable in trying to find the 'right' line between defending daughter against comments that I knew had hurt her, without undermining the teacher in front of her. Not an easy one...
My siblings are teachers and so we've always brought up our kids to behave in such a way in class as to get the best possible education and not be disruptive. But when we believe the teacher is wrong? Difficult....

Perhaps you should discuss with your daughter that, while other people have different views, being prepared to perform is not a crime or punishable offense. Had her instructor not wanted current students to study the mistakes of past students, he should not have made that information available. HIS mistake is not your daughter's.
Many people prefer that others not do anything to achieve greatness or success. They know their weak light is easily outshone and they are afraid of being cast as ordinary. Worse, when it happens despite their efforts to stymie, they complain that you are raining on their parade then demand that you give them your umbrella. All the while complaining that you aren't being very nice, are not a team player, and should have to do some sort of penance to change your greedy selfish ways.
If your daughter's instructor can't see he is this kind of person, find a tutor or coach and tell the zero talent bastard to fuck off. TESTS should not be used to punish someone for trying hard. They should be used to measure learning and achievement and formulate a program of study for continued advancement if warranted. They should never be used to tell a student they are a poor winner.

They say I'm crazy but I have a good time. I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime.

Without a calendar I wouldn't be able to follow even common special days here. I had no idea this existed. The wearing purple made me think of a funny little incident though. One day my husband was out with family near a convention center. He happened to notice that A LOT of people (mostly men) were wearing the same color shirt as him. It turned out to be a convention for gay men and my husband was mistaken as a convention goer.
I wonder how many people wear purple and have no idea what International Fetish Day is.

It's a collar, you guys. I'm wearing a collar. Not to be confused with a Collar, that's still to come, but I'm wearing a collar. The day collar doesn't come off until the night collar is put on, and vice versa. OMG happy.
Also Sir made me watch Star Wars and I actually liked it. This guy really can do anything he wants to me!
