The teacher let her pass the course without meeting all the requirements. Probably sick of her attitude.
BTW: I also refused to electrocute and dissect a frog in class - but I didn't pass the exam though!

Re: The Selfish Generation
I could never support physical punishment in schools; I've met way too many teachers who really do have the wrong attitude when it comes to children. I see no problem with physically hauling a disruptive pupil out of class but any corporal punishment should, if it ever came back into schools, be carried out only if the parent is present.the funniest statement I've read for years - does this lady realize what she has just said ?? "I could never support physical punishment in schools;" and then she follows with: but any corporal punishment should, if it ever came back into schools, be carried out only if the parent is present.
can we see any contradictions here at all or is this normal adult rationale??
I do hope you are well and truly retired!!

Re: The Selfish Generation
The problem I have Pats is that he has been ill-mannered and upset a few people who have tried tactfully to stop him but tact and diplomacy doesn't work with people like that. Does he have the right to say what he likes about anyone on here and that he goes unchallenged and he can't be told the truth about how he's behaving? Doesn't this link nicely to the cyber bullying thread and highlights that unchallenged behaviour that is unkind will just continue.
