Remember how apprehensive you were when you moved from primary to secondary school at the impressionable age of 11. You will have felt the need to 'conform' to what you thought was expected. When Grangehill had lowered that standard most 'conformed' by lowering theirs |

That man would never be overwhelmed as you put it, he was a hell of a teacher and he was the boss. His view of acceptable was his word was law and we all knew it. He had a small plot of land at the back of the school which he called his own and if you were on the wrong side of the fence you would be invited after school to dig a 6ft hole and then fill it in, whatever the weather. The softie approach was unknown and I am all for that. When in the army in later years the education continued and open your mouth when its not warranted you suffered the consequences. |

Re: Kids behavior no worse than before
You can't blame a generation's behaviour on a television programme. If standards have fallen and teachers can't cope it's because successive governments, in their wisdom, have taken most means of disciplining away and replaced them with "rights".
If a teacher, or indeed anyone in authority, as much as touches a child there's a hue and cry and any young thug who knows a teacher can't even retaliate, if attacked, is going to take advantage of the fact. It doesn't take long for the attitude to spread to a whole class. |
Re: Kids behavior no worse than before

Take this Quote:
You also say the teenage problem was worse back then in another post. it can't be both can it? |

Posted via Mobile Device No if u look back I said it isn't any worse now than when I was a teenager in oswaldtwistle, now u quoted me mentioning the new housing estate on rhoden road and saying maybe that is a reason for the sudden increase in teenagers meeting around where I live. Is internet one up-manship so important u have to trawl my previous posts ? |
Re: Kids behavior no worse than before
were talking here about hyndburn/accy district teachers in what is known throughout the country as a low paid area, mancie, last i heard was no inner city around here, take yer point about such places though, although i was never brought up in one.:) fer me hyndburn i assume had/has good/bad teachers just the same as most small towns,

ok in my family alone 4 attended the 6th form, 1 went to manchester polytechnic, 1 salford university, 1 liverpool university, 2 accrington & rossendale college after leaving school. We all went to the same school well nearly all - it changed names in 1973 so basically it was the same school. Haslingden Secondary/Haslingden High ....... Now we werent rich by any means ... and if anyone knew my dad ...which jaysay might remember him from many years ago ... seeing as it was 23 years since he died last week... my mum and dad never paid for any of our education - we went through school and did our best. They backed us all the way and if we wanted to stay on at school then they supported us - but if we wanted spending money after the age of 16 then we had to have a part time job. In actual fact i got a paper round and thought i was in the money - and dad stopped my pocket money after i started the paper round! The above includes my nieces and nephews and they were treated exactly the same when they finished school ... thats why 1 is at salford uni at the minute, another trained as a nanny - when a job fell through she retrained as a teacher at Liverpool uni, 1 went into the 6th form ..did his a levels and is now working for lancashire county council ... on an apprentice scheme ... and doing a good job to. They all have or had part time jobs going through uni and 6th form. Thing is though we made it through with the backing of parents and grandparents ... how many kids nowadays will have that ... with divorce, separation, or just being with a single parent ... Thats the problem ... we had discipline growing up from both parents .... now they dont. |
Re: Kids behavior no worse than before
Oh and before anyone says that im having a go at single parents im not - i know quite a lot of single parents who have done a good job.
The difference being 30/40 years ago you had never heard of divorce ... it was rare round here. Kids were brought up in a 2 parent home. A lot of kids might spend saturday with their dad, but do they know their dads parents the same as what we knew ours .... In otherwords the family breakdown as got a lot to do with it ... as well as tv, and dont forget computer games and playstation and xbox etc ... |
