And that is extremely arrogant on the part of the teacher, to think that the teacher was the only source of information is not only arrogant but stupid as well. I can only hope that that teacher retired or quit shortly after that. In Pa. while I was teaching the Gov. passed a law that regulated corporeal punishment. The principal came into the Teachers Lounge and said we should not tell the students yet and we could get away with paddeling for awhile. I commented later to another teacher that the students probably knew the details of the bill before we did. The principals comments were not only stupid but illegal as well. There are a lot of things that I have learned outside of formal education.
