People who wear watches are slaves of time according to one of my English teachers in high school.
That's the ONLY thing I remember from his class.
Did you have to be on time to the class?
I guess that would have been a test of his philosophy, now wouldn't it? I don't recall tardiness ever being a problem though, we came and went by the ringing bells in the hallway. My main concern in those days was keeping a low profile and getting home so I could do something productive before dark.
