[Dan from Michigan]

I've been on both sides of this. I've had teachers and professors I've highly respected. Others I haven't. In high school I'll admit I had a bit of a mouth(took a 3 day out for swearing(louder than I though) about a detention I got that lacked consistancy.). Respect doesn't always mean like. I've had some teachers who ran the class almost like a stereotypical old style Catholic school room. She wasn't always liked, but there wasn't many complaints in that class through. Everything was set in stone and it was consistant. We all learned something too. Others were more easy going and were real nice. This teacher was respected too. We all liked the guy and didn't want to make him mad. We always stayed on schedule.

Then there's the dummy who doesn't teach anything and yells at the class. He once called my parents for misbehaving. One problem though. I wasn't in that class that day because of another school project. I have no respect for idiots like that. I may play along with the system at times, but there's no respect.

When I coached, I worked to earn the players' respect. Some areas I was more lax than others. Other areas I was a hardliner. I was consistant from day 1. The players knew what I expected.

How many jobs will they keep if they do what they want when they want and not follow the proper procedure?

They will real quick when it's paycheck time. Everyone respects a paycheck.

Oh that's just lame. What an idiot!

Oh I don't know. Ever work retail? Some of those darlings that work at Meijer and constantly complain that they are over worked (in front of the customers) as they socialize instead of packing my bags, are like this kid. They are owed a paycheck just because they graced the employer with their lovely selves.
