   @luke @clacke @sklaing It is so weird that a school would need a "policy". If somebody asks me to call him/her by a name, it's rude not to.

     @sklaing "The new policy also allows students to change their name once every school year" Wait, what? How can a school control this?

     @blp @sklaing The school ought to be fully in control of what the school calls its students.

     @blp What I meant was, if what you meant was "How can the school control their legal name?", I don't think that's what the school means. :-)

     @blp @luke @sklaing But yeah, our societies suffer from policyitis.
