How far should we go in objecting to things teachers do?

I read with interest the question by the mother wanting advice on a teacher's desire to have her four-year-old wear adult makeup for a dance recital.  This brings up another question:  when teachers make decisions (often with good intentions) about what they want our children to do, how far should we go to enforce our own standards?  This doesn't just apply to things like makeup for school plays, but every other activity in school.  We want our kids to get a good education and be part of the school community, but should this be at the expense of our own sense of what's right and appropriate?

No.

Much of society's ills, I believe, are due to parents abdicating responsibility for the raising of the children.  Whether its an over reliance upon school or government, either way it's an unhealthy thing to do.  We are the parents and its' our job to raise these little ones into functioning, healthy, wise future adults.

My 2 cents.
