As is the wont, the thread has gone in a related but off my main point, which I do like. I like the discussion, but still wonder how many, including @Noir, understand why this back and forth, no matter what your position, is not something to be that I find appropriate in school, especially before perhaps 11th or 12th year of school? It certainly isn't something a 2nd or 3rd grader should be pressured by a teacher to 'take a stand about,' when they should be studying their math facts and haven't a clue to what the discussion would be about.

Thus, the teacher placing an 8 year old in the position of 'agreeing' to use a title that they've no clue to the underlying meaning?
