Dzeytoun:
Uhm, speak for yourself.  This is a problem SOME guys have, not all 
of us.  I also am of somewhat more advanced years than Harry, and I 
think he was an idiot.

If any teacher had ever tried something like that with me I would 
have screamed all the way to the courtroom.

Geoff:
Sorry, I left out a word. It's an "English" (and even "British") 
male thing. Your last sentence reveals that you are probably from 
the US.

quigonginger:
But, back to the original thread of the post, I walked away with the
pride of knowing I had stood my ground, never let them see me cry,
and had borne the battle by myself. Back in those days that meant
honour, pride, dignity, and courage. Nowadays, it means lawsuit.
Which is better? I guess that depends on your generation.

Bookworm:
I don't think it is an American vs. British thing. Or even a male
or generational thing. It's a personality thing.  

When my son had a problem with a teacher, he came to me for help (he 
was 8 y/o at the time). When my daughter (12 y/o) had trouble with a 
teacher this year and I asked if she wanted me to say something she 
refused, saying it would make things worse. Similar situations, 
different personalities.
