Agree fully. I think that teachers ought to be allowed to punish a child too.

Children don't fear teachers, parents, policemen or any other authority figures any more.

Discipline has been taken away from schools and the government keeps trying to take it away from parents too, more's the pity.

Children especially are very impressionable. A well behaved child watching an unruly child being naughty constantly without consequence for their actions will soon try to see how far they can push things themselves.

This may sound a bit taboo, but I think some children have to have fear instilled into them. They have to learn that action equates to consequence. Kids should have a healthy fear of their parent, teachers and the police.

I quite agree, Bonnyboy.

It's a sad state of affairs we're having to live with.

As you say, we are having to live with it. We flippin well shouldn’t be though.

I wonder what my great grandparents or even grandparents would have made of the fact that we can no longer effectively control our offspring.

thats something i have been saying repeatedly fer years, the P.C. brigade have much to answer for IMHO. this little git, if hes old enough to carry n threaten with a knife 9 yrs old or not, hes old enough to be releived of his freedom in my book. n i aint sure about jailing parents until its a level playing field n parents have disipline back in their powers. cos if they punish parents as is now, like other things in life it will be the easy targets NOT the real bad parents that will bear the brunt.

You are so right. Being afraid of what your dad, or mum, might do to you if you do wrong doesn't mean not being loved. If it did then most of my generation would have been "unloved" children - and I can assure you we weren't. We were "afraid" of teachers too, in as much as we knew better than to step out of line, and in awe of policemen.

trouble with that is although correct n commonsense we are viewed as " Dinasors" by the pillocks in society.

Bring back Corporal punishment I say, the little buggers know no discipline, get away with murder (literally) at home, school and in society in general, teach them some respect, I'd be ashamed if it was one of mine.
Hope your Grandson isn't too shook up Bernie.

Re: Getting More Than A bit Scary

I remember a few of the lads taking knives to primary school when I was there. I think it's always been a problem amongst youngsters, and most wouldnt actually use the weapon that they carry.

Obviously it is scary, and I am not trying to justify carrying knives in anyway, just speculating on my own experience as a child and recalling that knives were carried by some boys back then too.

Re: Getting More Than A bit Scary

yeh can't really say most wouldn't use em blazey, kids when they "lose it" if they "carry" have every chance of using it.
