It's true, bad kids do turn into bad adults and then perpetuate the cycle. It's sad but true that schools so often have to take the place of parents in teaching children right from wrong. However, then you get the Mum who comes down to the school threatening to beat up the teacher who told her dear little one that he/she was behaving antisocially. It's difficult to tell kids off when you see them doing something wrong, being told to f*** off is the mildest thing that can happen - some of them are quite likely to turn on you and beat the living daylights out of you.
