My senior year of high school I once objected in a National Art Honor Society meeting on the grounds of "this is arts and crafts, not art." I was obnoxious in high school but time teaches us humility. I made a tree.
I was afraid of posting rules like this. I thought the kids would interpret the falling leaves with rules written on them as a declaration of the death of authority and assume the decorations were a social commentary focusing on the death of custom and the end of values such as "nice words", "be kind", and "remember manners." Or that's what I thought until I found out most of the kids didn't know the difference between before and after.
