Her opinion, you may not agree, but so what. Matthew 7:1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged."Yes freedom of speech, unless it's pointless hurtful -like discrimination- at which point it not really speech.True. But who determines this?

QuoteA 50's type of school where student get hit with rulers on their hands has a very low survival rate here in The Netherlands. Actually, bamboo sticks are much better than rulers. More leverage.It's more subtle these days. And sneaky. Bullying is the new ruler.The 60s destroyed the discipline of Dutch schools. See Mammoet wetgevingQuoteOndanks alle goede bedoelingen had de Mammoetwet niet het gewenste effect. De opleidingen van het LBO sloten niet goed aan op het mbo en op de arbeidsmarkt. Om dit 'gat in de Mammoetwet' op te lossen werd het Kmbo (Kort Middelbaar BeroepsOnderwijs) ingevoerd.[4]Het bleek al snel dat het concept van de brugklas niet werkte. Het niveauverschil tussen de leerlingen die van de basisschool kwamen was te groot. De brugklas werd in 1992 wettelijk vervangen door de basisvorming en die werd in 1993 ingevoerd.But you know this of course.
