"It would be bad enough if it was just the teacher chewing gum and telling the students do n't chew gum . But it does n't stop there . The teacher makes the rule no gum chewing in class . Then later that same day she instructs Billy and Sally to chew gum . Johnny sees this and decides to chew gum too , thinking that its ok. Of course , he gets expelled from school for breaking the rules . In this case the teacher is n't just breaking her own rules , she also commands some of her students to break the rules as well , yet still penalizes those who break the exact rule if they were n't commanded to do so ."
"Those who set the rules can do with them as they please . It is n't illogical nor hypocritical . It IS illogical to assume you can chew gum if the rule is `` you cant chew gum `` and the teacher allows one student to chew gum ."
