victormendez: We had about the same discipline in my school in the 70's in Finland, but later I heard from others that it was particularly in my school, not in others. We had HUGE respect for the head-teacher, we had to stand up in seconds when he walked into our class, we had to be absolutely quiet, and not sit down until he sat down. We all liked him but also feared him, respected him. One morning we were told "from today on you don't have to stand up anymore, not when the teacher walks in and not when you answer a question". That felt weird. All the respect gone in the blink of an eye. Today our schools are a joke. Pupils can choose if they sit or stand or lie down or whatever. They wear beanies inside, they run in the corridors, they shout,scream, throw things. No wonder we fell down from the PISA-points to the bottom. When you take the respect and discipline away everything becomes chaos.
