[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 504925, member: 8657"] [I][COLOR=darkgreen]Nope, we don't. It would be impossible to. We never will be 'free' of our words or our actions because we always run the risk of our 'freedom' overshadowing someone elses, be it a boss or a relative. By law, we're free to speak as we wish. But we must be prepared to meet our words face to face. [/COLOR][/I] [I][COLOR=darkgreen]Teachers are limited as to what they can talk about.
