Making fun of a teacher is a whole different thing. And so is being forced to do schoolwork against one&#39;s will. I&#39;d rather see a school full of students doing things like in the video above than being forced to do things the adults consider beneficial.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://mises.org/community/forums/thread/512089.aspxTue, 15 Jan 2013 21:01:30 GMT944abf2b-d1be-4bf2-990d-438cb0e377e9:512089Wheylous0http://mises.org/community/forums/thread/512089.aspxhttp://mises.org/community/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=27&PostID=512089<p> Bogart - I agree, but the problem is that things like these happened&nbsp;<em>all</em> the time. My Spanish class, for example, consisted of 80% of the kids just making fun of the teacher to her face for her accent.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://mises.org/community/forums/thread/512084.aspxTue, 15 Jan 2013 20:23:19 GMT944abf2b-d1be-4bf2-990d-438cb0e377e9:512084Anenome0http://mises.org/community/forums/thread/512084.aspxhttp://mises.org/community/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=27&PostID=512084<p> <blockquote><div><img src="http://mises.org/community/Themes/mises2008/images/icon-quote.gif"> <strong>proxyamenra:</strong></div><div></p> <p> At the public school I went to we normally just stabbed each other or for fun threw bins that were on fire at people.
