I have effectively screened out all of my early school 
experiences.  I don't remember a single one.  But I did spend several 
years as a teacher before I became a photographer and all of this 
rings true!  It's even worse today.  Not too many years ago, the 
teacher was always right and kids dreaded coming home if they got a 
bad report.  Today, the teacher is never right and parents sue for 
good reports!!  I gave up when I discovered photography.  Thank God!!
