in no way am i saying i will tell my students to push the rules, nor do i intend to wear the wheels down. I dont see anyone on this thread saying "im gonna wear the wheels down" Part of how i was taught was to know everything thats gonna happen and be prepared for it. I just wanted to get others feels on if i should get some extra wheels, and how it may be handeled.
