As I said, a teacher is not allowed to hurt her students.

What if she was already standing up? Besides, if she wasn't and she stood up, she'd hurt us. Screaming would also be highly ineffecive, and she couldn't walk out the door.

Screaming would bring other teachers to her aid. If she stood up, how could that hurt you?

I am sorry, I do not know what "sttod" means. Besides, if the door was closed, nobody else could hear us.

I think that you could hear a scream through a closed door.

Then you can't scream very well.

Since everyone else's attention is occupied with this fascinating discussion, I'm sure nobody will object if I say that Pluto is a planet. It's even true.

It wasn't me screaming, it was my whole class. I can scream loudly, believe me. OF COURSE PLUTO IS A PLANET! Pluto is, has always been, and always will be a planet. :)

Here are some general arguments:
1. A planet cannot be undiscovered. It is equivalent to undiscovering America.
2. The IAU's reasoning is flawed.
3. Pluto was demoted in an unfair voting process.
4. I have not heard a single sound argument against Pluto's being a planet.

1) It isn't being undiscovered, it's being demoted. One can be demoted.
2) In your opinion.
3) In your opinion.
4) I haven't heard one for it.
