I work as a teacher. Gaining the respect and regulating the behaviour of rowdy students is something I have to do all the time. I wonder how I would fare if I approached rowdy students like the referees approach managers this year. You have a legitimate complaint? Straight to the principal, my friend. You are angry because someone wronged you? Well, fuck you I'll call your mom.

Don't think this approach where they dole out consequences for every petty interaction is helping their case. Especially since it's impossible for them to be consistent.

You studied pedagogy and work with children in a relatively private setting.

Referees manage overpaid adult cunts who spend 90 minutes deceiving and tricking the ref into wrong decisions in front of millions of viewers.

This analogy doesn't work and it will never work.

Because children don't try to deceive or manipulate their teachers? There's no perfect analogy, but the point is about the authority figure needing some level of accountability and rapport with the people they preside over, and how these measures represent the opposite of that.
