Think those countries tolerate cursing at teachers, throwing things, etc? How about giving teachers the ability to enforce discipline (I don't mean spanking) and if that means kicking kids out of school or putting them in special classes and giving them a label such as "difficult" then so be it. The rest of the kids shouldn't be punished because of a handful of disruptives. I mention them getting a "label" because this is the argument most who are against special classes usually make. That they will be "labeled." Too bad, time to ship up.

Quote:

there is no "mostly unique;" thats like saying "sometimes always," its an oxymoron - its either one or the other.

The result:

Quote:

By the mid-19th century unique had developed a wider meaning, “not typical, unusual,” and it is in this wider sense that it is compared. The comparison of so-called absolutes in senses that are not absolute is standard in all varieties of speech and writing.
