User blog:Jiskran/Realistic RL vs Hogwarts 'realistic'

I have an increasing problem, and it may just be me, with the way a number of students and their behaviour are portrayed here. In the real world, you may get away with being rude to teachers, ignoring lessons or snoozing through them, but I defy anyone to produce any canon evidence, book or even film, to support the idea that this is acceptable in Hogwarts, and doesn't bring massive retribution down on the head of the perpetrator. Fred and George get away with defying Umbridge only because they are abandoning school anyway.

In short, what I think I'm saying is, please could the subversive element be a little more subtle. You cannot attack other students, even away from school, and expect to be allowed back onto the grounds - it's simply not logical. I know many of you plan to have these chars become Dark Wizard adults, but please look at the template for that concept - Tom Riddle. At Hogwarts he maintained the facade of the perfect student, seemingly helping his fellow Slytherins study, sucking up to susceptible members of staff like Horace Slughorn, and laying his plots carefully, drop by drop, over long periods of time against enemies like Hagrid, explotiing their weaknesses without attacking them overtly. Duels between students, outside the Duelling Club, should get them both into massive trouble and near endless detention.
