schools.

There's no consequences for these kids any more though, and that is where the problem lies.

If someone does something and gets away with it, they will continue to do it, and each time go that little bit further - testing the boundary of what they can get away with.

If it was nipped in the bud at an early age, there would not be as many problems as there are now.

Many people here are old enough to remember getting a clip round the ear when they were younger, either by the local bobby or someone else, and no-one thought anything of it. If the person told their parents, they would more than likely get another one for their trouble!
 
The Headteacher should have the power to expel. The class teacher or form teacher should have the authority to administer corporal punishment. Six of the best with a leather strap was the punishment when I was at secondary school.

You found the stuff at 3 francs (25p) a bottle and said it was a better deal than coca-cola; I was only the one who went in the shop and bought it.

let the teachers sort the kids out the old fashioned way, learn them to respect and treat other people how they should be respected, that is what is missing in a lot of youngsters today.I would never have found out about S@M or dominetrix if i hadnt of been naughty at school.:eek:
 
I have to say that it boils down to one word RESPECT. Think about it, why did we not go off the rails when we prob could have done (although I'm sure we all had a blips) it was because we respected those in authority. That's my belief anyway. Problem is that many of these kids no longer respect the authority within their own homes so why should they feel threatened by authority outside of it?? responses please...........

And you have been a naughty boy ever since I suppose ;)
 
We live in an era when everyone knows their rights, but too few know the responsbilities that go with those rights. Unless we make a strenuous effort to educate children in how to be responsible and decent adults, we will never make any progress. We should teach children self-respect and respect for others, I do agree. And yes, there should be punishment for those who do not toe the line - not rewards. as is all too often the case. If you do wrong, you should suffer for it in one way or another.
 
The problem is who is going to teach them? We've got a generation of children whose parents themselves had no discipline and cannot see what their little darlings are doing wrong. We have young adults who believe the world owes them even though they never lift a finger to do anything. Where do you start?
 
When we were kids how many of us wanted to go or were dragged to Church Sunday school e.t.c? Where we learned about God's wrath if you did wrong. IMO respect went out the window when secularisation came in. A lot of kids nowadays grow up not even knowing who or what God is! Another point is the community has all but gone. When I was a kid if I did anything wrong It was guarenteed that Aunty so&so or Uncle such & such (who were no relation) would see you and tell my Parents. Sadly this seems to have all but disappeared with people keeping themselves to themselves.
 
The attitude of some young people was summned up for me the other day,when I was talking to a young aquaintance who is in her late teens.Noticing she seemed a bit subdued(not her usual boistrous self)I asked her what the matter was.
The reply was that she had no money,'because the people at the social can't get off their lazy ar### and give me my 87 quid!'(per fortnight)

Now for one reason or another this girl has never done a days work since leaving school,so here I am paying taxes so such as this whinger can accuse the system of letting her down in not being prompt with her free handouts.

The sadder thing is, she could not see the irony of the situation,I really do despair for the future of this country,for she and her like will soon no longer be the minority case but the norm.
 
I had to deal with people like that on a daily basis.

That's why I escaped from there at the earliest opportunity
