Yeah, realised that point about five minutes after I posted the comment! I can be really slow sometimes.
As for prolonging adolescence - yup, & not a Good Thing. Ok, retain a 'young' outlook on life, but take some responsibility for goodness sake.
Just think, if some of your students were a tad more responsible . . . Maybe they'd bother to read the notices you stick up & then go get their stuff before bothering you. Come to think of it, if their parents were more responsible maybe they'd have tried to make sure that their children could cope with such things. I dunno, parents these days . . .
