How many of you get tired of your teachers nagging you and telling you what to do?

“I am not going to do that because you are all mature young adults.”

“This is YOUR class, so you are going to decide how we treat each other,

AND YOU are going to help each other,

AND I don’t have to get involved, there will

be no consequences!”
