in answer to the question, I would like to know more about the case before passing judgement, initially i must admit it seems a bit odd, but then i have no idea if this is a school rule concerning what can and can't be done during school time or if it is a cultural thing that we would find difficult to understand, such expecting the Swedish to understand some of the odd customs that have become accepted here in Britain during school time, you know swearing at teachers, carrying knives, lack of respect and general bad attitude...
i do find it amazing that those who complain about a nanny state and PC gone mad are the ones that generally subscribe to "build more prisons, lock em up and throw away the key", "bring back national service" "bring back hanging" (generalisation ofc not all)...this is pretty ironic as those things are pretty intrusive imo, the state can't help but govern people, that's their job, to create and shape society with just and fair laws and in addition create an attitude and a set of values in that society, are the values in this story correct?, well i have no idea at this stage but i would say we are far from perfect here so perhaps we should stop with the stones, until we move out of the conservatory...
rofl @ ray, sorry to say you are the embodiment of a contractor, "Sir or Madam, oh, and they aren't tenants anymore they are customers" you won't get why that is soo funny i'm sure, but trust me you made me laugh...
