It certainly seems to me that education was better in Jambutty's school days than it is now. Too much red tape and paperwork now. Too much pussy footing around too. The teachers have no authority to discipline the kids and the kids know it. I'm not suggesting bringing back the cane but the teachers have their hands tied when it comes to any discipline these days. There needs to be some deterrant for bad behaviour. Who'd be a teacher these days? Hats off to the brave ones that are.

I find it astonishing that kids are leaving primary school unable to read properly. It's very sad and does not bode well at all for the future.
