    if you could erase ONE game from your memory to play it for the first time again...

    Free To Play Command and Conquer Launching in 2013

    Oh great, another franchise dug up and re-murdered. I would happily buy a good C&C game, but free to play which will be poor quality and not free to play properly... GRRR

    Can a teacher encourage/ignore bullying or even be a bully? Why?

    I completely agree, one problem though, proof. Horrible as it sounds the majority of this goes on when there are very few witnesses and even fewer who will actually drop names etc. If a child comes up to you caliming he is being bullied how do you trust his words over anothers? How can you be...

    Can a teacher encourage/ignore bullying or even be a bully? Why?

    I would go with the whole teachers are human idea, also you gotta realise there is a fine line between bullying and tough love. Some kids do actually respond well to it as it shakes them out of being rude and lazy. I wont always condone it but I will see that no teacher will ever intentionally...

    Are teens lazy?

    Im a teacher, Im not much older then some of the kids I work with. I wouldnt say they are all lazy, indeed many work hard.

    Poll: Does our generation recognise copyright laws?

    I would say yes, I studied law and in truth people have grave misconceptions about what copyright is, in reality use of other intellectual material for non profit purposes is often acceptable. The whole purpose of copyright is the fact you cannot take credit for (in finance or fame) the work of...

    Is anyone else here a teacher?

    PGCE (for those not in the know) is a post-grad-certificate in education, its basically one of the only ways to become a teacher in the UK (and many over similar systems) its basically a postgrad course to teach a specific subject or at a specific level.

    Any UK tenants know about 'admin fees'?

    Its fair, though i dont like it, but generally yes they have a right to charge you, some landlords just take the cost themselves and charge you extra, just consider it as rent up front. Nasty but necessary. Also make sure they live up the the contract, agents who charge fees should act...
