Re: Sugar tax
It can be the other way round as well, monkey hanger. Some parents do take the easy way out by letting their children rule the roost at home, always giving in to them, with the outcome they then think they can do the same at school.
Teachers’ authority has been eroded over the years with the result that they are very restricted in what they can and can’t do….and students are well aware of this.
Schools are expected to incorporate more and more subjects and so-called experts are often the ones who dictate how these should be taught. I guess what might seem a wishy-washy way of doing so to us is what modern-day thinking (especially of these so-called experts) deems to be the right way.
Boy, how times have changed since I was a schoolgirl (and not always for the better!).
However, at the end of the day it’s still the parents who should be in control.
