I follow the common practice of sitting outside the classroom to quiz the M1 students 1 on 1. What's uncommon is that I don't have a cane or the general classroom control, so the doors aren't lines so much as bulbous amoebas.
What seems significant is that it took a couple full days of testing before I realized that I would find the sight of a student kneeling or sitting nigh-prostrate in front of a teacher somewhat surprising or outright inappropriate.
What passing teachers find significant is that sometimes students stand in front of me, instead of kneeling or sitting cross-legged, and the well-meaning of them whap the students into form.
And that seems significant, too
