I'd like to play devils advocate and suggest that the teacher who works within the system and 'governs' their students 'effectively' through 'monitoring and testing regimes' may actually be doing students more harm that those who cut corners with such things.

It may actually be good for students to have a few slack characters thrown in among all the bureaucrats!

We had many more of those in 1970s-80s when I was in school, and we all turned out great, much less anxious and delicate than the cohorts who came after us, which is the kind of person our education system encourages today.

Of course you can monitor etc. and also be human, but in order to do so I truly believe you have to work 60-70 hours a week and, if you have them, abandon your own children.
