As someone who works in a school and deals with kids everyday, I am happy to encourage them to be their own person. However, we also have a duty to encourage them to become decent, polite people. This programme encourages everyone to find badly behaved, rude, insolent children (insolence and defiance are both things learners would be disciplined for in my school) funny. I just don't get it. I know that this makes the world a far richer place, and that if we all liked the same thing it would be a very boring environment in which to live, but reacting to this behaviour in this way just confirms that it is ok for kids to misbehave. That just makes the job of making school a positive, creative experience, even harder than it already is. If you like it and find it funny, that's absolutely fine. I just don't understand it.
