***But it's so commonly that way I wonder, is that what classrooms at uni or high school are like? Is it a common style in fact?***

But it wasn't like that on Buffy, itself - the Eng Lit teacher Marcie almost killed, the Biology teacher Mantis Lady did kill, Jenny - they engaged with the students lots.

I had a conversation with Maggie about the US education system a while ago, and she made the point that local control, but more importantly, local funding were major contributing factors to the variability - poorer areas get poorer schools because the local authorities have less money to spend on anything and the schools loose out too. I am not saying that devolution is wrong in any way - it was just something I didn't know.
