    I’m a bit confused. Of course, if the parents are not supportive then them needing to approve the “nickname” is a problem, but if the parent is supportive, isn’t this good for parents becuase it give them more control over the school. If the parent approves of the nickname, the school has to recognize it and refer to the child by th name.

    I agree it’s taking control away from the kids, but is it not giving full control to the parents?

      It’s building a literal database of all “non-conforming” children.

      Also, parents should not have full control over what their children want to be called.

      Why should a parent have full control over what nickname their kid uses? Any parent who tries to excersize that level of total control over their kid is gonna wind up disowned when their kid hits 18 lol

      If that sounds normal to you, you might have had some seriously overbearing parents, hate to break it to you lol
