Me too. First for the reason you just mentioned, second because pupils attentions get too much destracted on relatively unimportant things like having the latest of the latest gadgets and wearing the "in" fashion labels in order to be "cool".

Last time I dared to mention that over here to a group of students long time ago, who where studying to become school teachers, I got - in seriousness - called an authoritarian Prussian, and a Nazi .

Who said Germans have no sense of humour?
