Why do people insist on being such bums?

[Dîn-Heru]

Then we have no disagreement, since you did mean what you said

Hehe, fair enough I worded myself poorly.

The only link I seem to be able to find is the editorial http://www.bt.no/meninger/leder/Auto...n-1207665.html . I, like you, prefer my paper on paper, and that is where I read it. I am pretty sure that the rule they are thinking of is that the pupils have to stand by their desks and say good morning/day teacher or something like that. I think I prefer your method (at least when it comes to the beginning of the day, seems a bit time-consuming if you have to do that for every new set of pupils). We do seem to agree in that the teacher has to signal that he/she is the one in charge in the classroom and that it is a place of learning not playtime.

I'll do another search tomorrow, it's bedtime now, but I have a suspicion that the original article is only available on paper or pay-per-view pdf.
