things are different now because teachers cant punish kids and your right part of it is that they try to be pupils mates so the pupils behave but also part of it is so that pupils like them enough so that they dont get mum or dad battering down the doors trying to smash their faces in.
parents used to back teachers up or if a child got in trouble it used to be a long walk home trying to think of how you can break the news to yuor parents that you had got in trouble.These days its how dare you shout at or punish my child ill kick your teeth in.
things have got so soft schools from what i was told by my youngests school are no longer allowed to give lines out .It may not be that they are banned it maybe in the process of trying to be best mates with pupils the practice has been abandoned.
for every 100 people that want tougher rules in schools there will be 1 person who objects and sadly it will always be that 1 person who gets listened to
