Even if it's supposed to keep them from abusing the system, it's penalizing them for using the bathroom.J E Oneilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09780097298061829471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-42675359798586082142014-10-20T08:44:47.615-07:002014-10-20T08:44:47.615-07:00I think if I were a teacher, I'd institute som...I think if I were a teacher, I'd institute some kind of capitalist system where people got "jobs" at the beginning of the school year and got paid in fake money that could be used to purchase snacks or other things.
