Re: Who will teach the kids?
The irony is, of course, that when corporal punishment was commonly used in schools, assaults on teachers were unknown. I'm not a great supporter of corporal punishment (although I readily admit it kept my unruly behaviour at school in check) but we have swung much too far in the other direction and the liberal consensus now insists that not only should we not "hit" kids, we shouldn't even tell them off for fear of hurting their poor feelings and damaging their fragile self-esteem. This has been immensely damaging to young people who have, in many cases, never been given any meaningful boundaries, never been taught that rights come with responsibilities, and never been shown that actions have consequences. Most young people are fine - just as they have always been, but there is a minority who have effectively been turned into sociopathic misfits by our misguided "liberal" education system. These are the minority of young people who think it acceptable (and inevitable) to stab someone who "disrespects" them, who think it is a badge of honour to shoot and kill another human being and achieve the status of "bad man."Re: Who will teach the kids?
It's a small number of children I believe who cause the most problems there must be ways to deal with this, Make parents sit in on lessons, put the children or teachers behind some sort of barrier, special schools for disruptive pupils, take them out and teach them seperate to the rest of the class/school.Re: Who will teach the kids?

Well it was good of your brother to forgive him, even if he did make him wait Robert.Re: Who will teach the kids?
This may be focusing on the plight of teachers but as many have pointed out we have all come from a position of corporal punishment in our school days. If you don't believe in corporal punishment, and I don't, then what do you replace it with?Re: Who will teach the kids?
I taught in an EBD Unit for for two years in Kent - Emotionally and Behaviourally Disturbed - I was never sure whether 'Disturbed' was the right word - most of them were definitely not disturbed by their own behaviour!Thread Tools | |
