A student came up to me today with a detention assignment: list 10 reasons that you have to listen to the teacher. He already had 3: to learn things, to show respect, to get smarter. But he couldn't think of another one...and to be honest, neither could I.
It's tough. Why DO you listen to the teacher? Well, presumably because you want to learn whatever it is they're teaching you. And of course, it's polite to listen to people, unless they're being outright abusive or threatening. But beyond that...
I honestly had to struggle to come up with an answer, and it was pretty lame: 'to get a better job later'. Anyone have any other ideas?
Giant Robots, completely stumped.
