School discipline has indeed collapsed;half of the teachers are opting for early retirement or part time work.No wonder,they are asked to do an impossible task;teach unruly youngsters without the threat of adequate punishment for wrongdoers.
Apparently the threat of detention has been neutred; teachers have to pre warn parents that little Johhny will be in detention,not neccessarily after school either!
The Nanny culture continues when kids are at Youth centres,any misbehaviour is only perceived as ,'Pushing the envelope'.
Kids are now given leaflets on their rights if police stop them in the streets!
Where will it end?
Well I think we now see the signs, the generation that have been brought up this way are now themselves having kids and the lack of discipline in kids and parents is unbelievable(with of course some exceptions)
I think it is a mixture of the Thatcher greed years and the Mary Poppins Blairite mentality.
Time for some sense,but again, from which direction will it appear?
