No. They just thought kids were all little hoodlums who could stand to have a little respect for authority shoved down their throats. Because, disrespect of educators and the educational system in general has nothing to do with people underfunding public education and bashing it all to shit, or dismissing anything intellectual as "worldly" "out of touch" or something to be mocked. It's all the bratty children's fault.
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I don't know the boys rules, but for girls, it was no tank tops, no midriff tops, and shorts can fall no more than 4 inches above the knee.
I'd love the boys rules to be simply, "Put it away!"

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Sounds like the school uniform movement here.
"Let's find a band-aid! Screw funding or listening to what the actualy educators might think the problems might be!"
It was annoying as hell. Personally I thought uniforms were a good idea, but they're not the be all and end all of good education for pete's sake.

My dad's school uniform included a straw boater.

Sounds good though, doesn't it?
It's the school's top rugby union team. Yes, the land of rucks, mauls and scrums, famously described as 'one man trying to push two men up three men".

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
No, what billytea is describing seriously needs a safeword.
What I was describing was smooshing the pretty boys together. Groinally.
I think I am late on my flexeril and my vicodin. Cass needs drugs. Then I need to set my alarms so I can wake up and determine if I am working tomorrow or not.
