Yes, he could have, but given the importance of exams it would have IMO been more sensible and reasonable if the teacher chose to exercise a bit of discretion rather than bloody-mindedly sticking to the rules. |
Fair point, but since when was it acceptable to choose which rules to stick to and which to break - and whether to be allowed to break rules if you think they're "silly" or something equally pathetic?
And if it is deemed acceptable, surely that would lead to disobedience, lawlessness and eventually anarchy?
Maybe extreme but we have enough chavs who think they can do what they blooming well want to, and I for one will applaud the teacher and the school for sticking up for the rules.
Whether or not the rule is silly... personally I believe it is but then we had to have the same rule (in fact, we were told if we pratted too much before going on leave for A2s the school would stop us taking the exams full stop!)... well, that's a completely different argument.
