Cast

gollark: They more encourage obeying when anyone is watching and otherwise ignoring the rules.
gollark: Anyway, I don't think instilling more obedience to authority is a particularly *good* thing, and in any case schools are... kind of inconsistent at that.
gollark: We actually had a history teacher who spent a few lessons talking about Brexit (back in 2016), which was interesting.
gollark: Also some pointlessly strict ones, who are less good.
gollark: Well, in my school, we had teachers who knew what they were doing, could be fun at times, and strict if really necessary, and they were good.
