When I was you...I totally understand what you mean. When I was young, some adults seem so immature and foolish. They demanded respect just because of their age.<BR/><BR/>As a teen, I didn't want to be treated as an equal. I wanted to be treated like a human being. Even when I had no respect for an adult I treated them with respect. It's how I was brought up. Except I was never offered the same courtesy. I was a kid and treated as inferior to authority.<BR/><BR/>As an adult I now understand what that is all about. It's about inferiority. If an adult treats a student like that they don't understand their authority. If the teacher had allowed the student to speak and make his point, then the teacher could use her authority to correct. Instead, an abuse of authority occured and so the student did not learn a lesson, except maybe that bullies triumph.Frakkin Taloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12270479237777175247noreply@blogger.com
