I know it's non PC but I think the main problem in schools is caused by the teachers no longer having authority over unruly pupils because they are no longer permitted to punish them. In my day the mere threat of a physical punishment was often enough deterrant

i would dissagree wiht that statement by the fact that such punishment was handed out.. if it was a deterrant then no one would be punished... Dont know about your school but at mine it was used and wasnt just for show to deter people..... no cain at ours..it was a leather strap.
for them that dont know... this was at a secondry modern school and used on kids 11 to 15 years old.. some teachers had double layer leather straps.... usually there was no set amount of hits... just keep going until you cried..... being "ard" at our school would ahve been a dissadvantage..... i can tell ya it didnt take too many hits with a double leather strap to have my eyes watering thats for sure..
whats that really crap saying..... school best years of your life?.,.... yeagh right
