I may be a bit old fashioned but Teaching should be looked on as a profession not just a job. Teachers are expected to mould the youth of the day for leadership of the future, therefore they should not only be teaching the three R's but they should also set an example in the way they dress and condu...

Yes I agree, however one will find that there are those students who don't want to learn but are also counted. They do become street smart and survive, they also breath and breed thus adding to the pile. Even if they had the greatest teacher in the world it would make no different. Perhaps it would ...

Agreed. They look pretty neat. Which version did you get? In the meantime, I've sent off an email to Thule Sweden (cc to Thule Aust) enough? Or too tight?). I'm not expecting a positive outcome :rolleyes:. Don't hold your breath remember that the swedish manufacturers think that they are doing you ...
