Farhan:exactly! That was what i thought too. I thought only primary students behave like this.

KS: Of course. I can’t imagine if you are the one who make noise. (it’s a compliment!)

When I was secondary three, I remembered my MT teacher yelling “keep quiet” for a record of 46 times in my class. I wasn’t one of the perpetrators, though.

Yes the kids today are pretty spoiled. Throw them in some tough (but not impossible) obstacle course, and they start to chicken out. Easily. It’s pretty ridiculous sometimes. [/rant]

And Ms Cherry, from what you described above? I really really REALLY thought it would only happen in primary school. D=

Despite your generation not being too far from theirs, times have changed a lot faster than you think – kids nowadays are way more spoiled and rebellious than before.

If the teacher isn’t firm and stern, the students are fully capable of insubordination, knowing that the teacher is a nice and “vulnerable” target.

Nope, I do not speak from experience – I’m not “teacher” material, as you can tell by being your student. =P
