Christina: And do adults go to work with their supervisors standing over
them insulting everything they do and making snide comments about their
character and their family? Remember what Umbridge told Harry - "This is
school, Mr. Potter, not real life." That is so true, and the only thing I
agree with Umbridge about. I agree that life isn't perfect and rosy and
cheerful constantly, but government public schools - and apparently even
wizarding schools - are not even remotely like real life.
My most effective teacher was one that I was able to disagree with, he
treated me as an adult (this was 9th grade English) and gave me an A on my
paper even though he disagreed with my POV of my subject.
