We could reinstate some of the old ways in schools.Give teachers and Heads the backing to punish wrongdoers.to be able to permantly exclude disruptive violent pupils and yes bring back approved schools for the little dears who wont toe the line.
Though no angel as a youngster I was in no doubt of the retribution that would be dolled out by teachers and Police if I was caught doing wrong.
Time to abandon the carrot method of rewarding wrongdoers with holidays and Play Stations (for not transgressing) and put a little fear into those who at the moment intimidate 'normal everyday folk'.
The money spent on cajoling young tearaways beggars belief...spend it instead on more Police patrols and prisons,one example I witnessed;was when a youngster in the P.R scheme had a teacher plus an assistant teaching him when he turned 'difficult' a phone call summoned a third person who arrived by car and then literally had to pick the pupil up,carry him out and drive him away(possibly to Blackpoool for a treat)
The experiment has failed ...start again!!
