Really?

One of my essay questions on my final was along the lines of "What should Miss N do differently next year? What should stay the same?"

The most answer to the first question: "Be more strict!" (and they're right on the money with that; I had to learn the hard way but it will pay off next year).

The next most common answer to the same question: "Don't be so anal about enforcing the tardy policy!"

The funny thing is that the above two statements are in no way contradictory to them.  Ah, the brilliant logic of teenagers.
