It’s a classroom management thing.
I didn’t understand this until I was a teacher but unfortunately, “if I let you do it, I have to let everyone do it” ends up being pretty true. Kids will absolutely point to other kids and say, “but you let Joey put his head down and listen.”
My response can’t be “but Joey is passing my class.” As much as I would like it to be.
It’s also a respect thing and I don’t mean that like you might think. I don’t demand unearned respect from everyone like an asshole. But one thing that happens is, if you let kids skirt classroom expectations and let them avoid doing things you ask them to do, they learn that your rules/expectations are actually just suggestions. Everything becomes negotiable.
Sorry dude, I would have made you take your notes too.
Just not sure where they would even go with this or how it would be very fun.
I think Bully happened at a time in gaming when it was pretty groundbreaking and unique. I don’t think they could recapture that.
Upon replaying Bully as an adult, it felt like it was a good story built atop a lot of mediocre mini-games.
Sorry - I really loved the game when I was young so this was hard to admit to myself.
