An effective deterrent?
Support from the childrens parents?
Support from the government?
Support from the legal system?
If a little Ba***rd grows up knowing he can stick two fingers up to authority and get away with it. Then what going to stop him doing that in adult life.
Discipline is a cornerstone of an ordered society, unfortunately the bleeding heart liberals and do gooders have forgotten this, and instead like to invent new terms for things.
Attention deficiency syndrome - Boll*cks. If the kid's not paying attention then bloody well make him pay attention.
It really winds me up.

Excellent, real excellent post. I completely agree with you. Discipline needs to be taught, and the only way to teach discipline is negative reinforcement and punishment.
You do not see the military handing out candy when the soldiers are obedient. No. They get punished. Hard. Thats why it works in the military.
All evidence shows that positive reinforcement doesn't work for discipline. Look at today's society, and look at the military and yesterday's society. Easy to prove my point.
