I agree with all this but isn't it right that would naughty kids be removed then them who wanted to learn would do

Perhaps they should bring back the cane.

It was phased out while I was at school, but while it was there people daren't do anything wrong for fear of getting caned.

Ooh, was that a deterrent they abolished?

Unfortunately excluding some kids is playing right into their hands because that is what they actually want and why they misbehave. It makes them centre of attention, gets them privileged treatment. It's a pity they can't be made to do some hard work like clearing up litter etc as a punishment but unfortunately in this day and age we mustn't hurt or upset the poor little so and sos

Your right Willow some kids play up because they know they will be excluded. A few years ago my friends son did this and was sent to a place called Broughton Towers, there he went absailing, rock climbing and all kinds of other things, he loved it. where as my kids who behaved couldn't do any of this because i don't have that kind of money! It seemed very unfair that kids who behaved got no "treats" while little sods got everything!

I have to say the major factor in all this is lack of parenting (except in cases of the children with known medical conditions) and lack of threatened punishment. What have they seriously got to be afraid of nowadays and the disruptive kids seem to be getting younger and younger. Anyone noticed the age of some of the kids getting ASBO's recently?? It's frightening

There's no consequences for these kids any more though, and that is where the problem lies.

If someone does something and gets away with it, they will continue to do it, and each time go that little bit further - testing the boundary of what they can get away with.

If it was nipped in the bud at an early age, there would not be as many problems as there are now.

Many people here are old enough to remember getting a clip round the ear when they were younger, either by the local bobby or someone else, and no-one thought anything of it. If the person told their parents, they would more than likely get another one for their trouble!

The Headteacher should have the power to expel. The class teacher or form teacher should have the authority to administer corporal punishment. Six of the best with a leather strap was the punishment when I was at secondary school.

You found the stuff at 3 francs (25p) a bottle and said it was a better deal than coca-cola; I was only the one who went in the shop and bought it.

staggeringman · 07-06-2005, 16:38

let the teachers sort the kids out the old fashioned way, learn them to respect and treat other people how they should be respected, that is what is missing in a lot of youngsters today.I would never have found out about S@M or dominetrix if i hadnt of been naughty at school.

vorlon24 · 07-06-2005, 16:43

I didn't realise they taught that in the schools up there.

What have we been missing down south?

harwood red · 07-06-2005, 22:37

I have to say that it boils down to one word RESPECT. Think about it, why did we not go off the rails when we prob could have done (although I'm sure we all had a blips) it was because we respected those in authority. That's my belief anyway. Problem is that many of these kids no longer respect the authority within their own homes so why should they feel threatened by authority outside of it?? responses please...........
