The only thing I can think of to that is a great quote I once read from Lemony Snicket (the author, not the CR member) “If you fight fire with fire, the whole world will burn down!”
Perhaps instead, you should send your children to a more reasonable school… and in turn, have more reasonable expectations of “the system”.
