I thought I had a well behaved class…until I got a student teacher. That’s when the Lord of the Flies broke out. Kids who had been angels in the classroom for over half the school year turned into savages. One day the student teacher left for the day and I resumed my role as teacher. And they suddenly turned to angels again.
That led me to think about civilization and the meaning of being civilized. Without rules do even the most civilized turn into savages? William Golding thought so.
