ABSTRACT
They were upset at being in trouble with the teacher, so it seemed that my telling them off had worked. But later I saw them at the other end of the playground, with textbooks up their shirts wriggling around. Perhaps I should have gone over, but I didn’t. It was very obvious then that what I had said to them earlier had had no effect. I told them that they were being disrespectful, but I am not sure if they understood what I meant.
