Not that I ever got in huge trouble with teachers, but I did get my share of reprimands for talking too much and the like. I did get pretty upset the time the teacher put tape on my mouth, that felt like excessive punishment, but for the most part I took it that that was their job.
But a reprimand from a peer would have been different entirely. Both because a peer would lack the authority of a teacher and because a peer would be more likely to be angry or something if they reprimanded.
I like the set up here. Dr. Bob sets the rules and enforces them without emotion (or visible emotion anyway), leaving us free to be supportive to each other. I tend to get more angry if Dr. Bob doesn't tend to things.
