The thing that stands out the most is how teachers generally have no "weapon" to use against unruly students when they act up... The lack of a detention room seemed to inhibit the teacher's ability to keep certain students in order... That contrasted with the other students who played for the Jr. Knicks... For those students, Mr. Moore had the option(threat) of reporting misbehavior to their coach... I don't know what the options are, but it seems that giving teachers a little bit more weight behind their words couldn't hurt... Interesting reading…
