Yeah I read the article before posting. I said the topic brings back memories but never mentioned the memory was not related to the article. Sorry about that.

Teachers can't go against school rules, like it or not that's a fact. Unfortunately for me I think every teacher follow them as well as me. And I said "I think" because I get the feeling someone with negotiation skills could have passed. All I did was to accept and left without questioning the rules, that's what I was taught to do.
