    There is a general belief amongst some children and in some cases entire schools of children, that the respect of the teacher has to be earnt, which takes time - a year in many cases, during which learning time is lost. This view is supported by the ethos of the school, which is the fault of the school's management.

    What do you mean above DWF? That the children have to earn the respect of the teacher or that the teacher has to earn the respect of the children?

    Never did me any harm, neither did being poked in the back of the neck with a highly-sharpened silver pencil, though it does still itch even decades later.

    I hate Latin.
    I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

    Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.

    Sorry, that the teacher has to earn the respect of the children.
