For those of you who believe this isn't a big deal...
Have you taught a class full of preteens or teens?
My first day of school was always soooo draining. It was emotionally draining. It was almost as if I was directing energy subconsiously toward class control. Even on the good days you are completely involved on keeping the class moving along all in the same direction and encouraging each child to learn. To throw a method of disrespect into the mix is to disregard what teachers devote to their job. I cannot imagine any teacher finding this acceptable unless they've already given up control of the class to the students. Those students will learn so much less.
