Mamy.......it wasn't just at school, parents chastised their offspring by corporal punishment when necessary........don't leave it all to the schools. Yes, i agree it may well have been the same group of troublemakers, but without corporal punishment it may have been a larger group.
Nothing wrong...in my opinion.....with disciplining with fear,for me, the end justifies the means.
What is wrong with these people who pelt the Emergency services and rthe parents of these children who so often go to the schools and chastise and abuse the staff?
If i had problems of discipline at school, i was given a second dose of discipline at home.
