I do agree with you Sharon - I also always felt the 'charming rascals' were fun to be around. Had one kid in a general grade 11 class, growing space irradiated seeds, who said he wouldn't be in the next day. I said "Why?".
I wasn't supposed to ask. He said, "I'll be in Court tomorrow". I said "Why?"
I shouldn't have asked that either. He said I've been charged with selling pot and possessing of a sawn-off shotgun. Teachers are never told things like that. Must say I liked the kid and got on very well with him. The only problem was that when the mice ate the seeds in the lab, I let him bring in replacement "orange seeds" which turned out to be pot! We couldn't help laughing. Apart from a few hiccups like this one, I really agree that stable and friendly teachers are a good influence on not so stable and generally quite friendly kids.
