Why do people insist on being such bums?

I found the article, but I was right, it was only in a pay-per-view pdf. Costs 15 kr for the page, but I don't think it gives much more information than the link I gave you.

Well, the anarchist in me agree that there should be as little interference from central government as possible, so as long as it works I do not see why the teacher/individual school should not be able to use the method of their choice in order to make the classroom a good environment for all involved. Well, I only wanted to hear the opinion of a teacher on the issue since it is somewhat related to the thread. (Could have asked my aunt, but I won't see her before christmas and by that time I probably would have forgotten about it anyway... I think she would agree with you as well come to think of it.)

It's not about "central government interference". It's about what works and what doesn't. If a teacher finds that doing this works, then do it. If it doesn't, why do it? Because I can garantuee you, it will not have an effect everywhere. But bah, I expect no more from a city council dominated by right-wingers.

I should probably clarify, when I said central goverment I meant the city council in this case (although it is applicable if it should become a national standard as well.) Just for the record, we are in agreement. Let the teachers do what works and let them be the judges of whether or not it works.
