[Margaret Pilkington]

Of course not all children are badly behaved....and it would be wrong to imply that they are.
But there are some children who get no discipline at home and when teachers try to control the class these children are less easy to get compliance from....because they don't have boundaries at home they cannot see any reason to adhere to boundaries set by school.
We saw this recently in a news item about a young girl who went to school with Beyoncé type braids, despite this being against the school rule.
Rules that are clearly explained before the children start school.
Now what difference does it make that this girl has fashionable braids? Does it stop her from learning? No of course it doesn't, but it IS against school rules.
What does the girls father do....
He berates the school for excluding his girl.
Now when this child leaves school and enters the world of work, she will be required to follow rules and regulations within the workplace.
She will find this difficult as she feels she should be able to do as she pleases.

School is the foundation which equips us for life in the working world...or that is the theory.
