(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - When I attended this school 30 years ago things were different. We respected out teachers and did what we were told. There wasn't any back talk or picking a fight with your teacher. If they told you to jump you asked how high. Thats the way it was. Things have changed for the worse......I feel bad for the teachers. My rating is for 30 years ago.
