Which is not to read what I offered you.
A fine example you make.
That being said, I fully understand the point to which you refer in your original response; however, BH initially posted a comment lambasting teachers for their "lack of courage", so to speak, in physically confronting students who get out of line. I responded in order to explain the environment in which we (teachers) work as of TODAY, REGARDLESS of the manner in which this state came about. My response was in NO WAY intended to entertain the history of how our inability to deal with students in this manner came to pass, only how our CURRENT inability to deal with students in this manner is quantified in light of BH's initial assertion.
Hope this clears up any further confusion you have regarding the intention of my response to your post. -EA
