Eng teacher missed the opportunity to bring a giant pencil
Besides, why do they only allow for one sharpener? Seems like a complete bullshit for the sake of forcing compliance
School often represses creativity in favor of compliance.
Doesn’t have to have a reason. The teacher finds something strange, you are punished. Think of blonde hair in Japanese schools.
In my parents’ times, going to school in jeans was forbidden (in center Europe).
