Time is our most precious possession - and it can never be replaced.

However, most of us (including myself) are not always punctual about our own appointments.

Furthermore, we can all make excuses and get upset about low teacher salaries. Many of us would like to get back at the system by teaching less, in order to raise the value per minute of classroom presence.

However, the continuing decline in the attitude towards punctuality seems to begin with the school system.

Thus, none of us should pontificate about "right" or "wrong." None of us should bend the system to meet any inadequacies. And, finally, we all know that two wrongs do not make a right.
