    Put this to a friend of mine whose mam taught at her small rural secondary school. She had two older siblings at the same school too.

    “Weird. We couldn’t really misbehave so that’s probably why we all went so wild at college.”

    Makes sense. She really did get weird with it in college.

      My mom was a teacher in my elementary school, my father was a teacher in my middle school, and, believe it or not, my aunt was a teacher in my highschool. Can confirm I can’t misbehave at school at all, but I didn’t go wild at college though.

        Yeah, your uncle probably works at the college or something. Better wait until you become a teacher yourself, then go wild. Lol

      my mom was a teacher at the school I went to from kindergarten to secondary school (it’s normal that some schools offer all grades together where I’m from) and I can confirm this. My classmates could get out of doing whatever, while I was always taken to my mom. College was the first time I felt a bit of independence and it was rough.
