I think the parents are the major part of the problem, but we've never been able to
make parents good, so what can we do? The behaviour of an increasing number of children has been deteriorating for years, since the end of corporal punishment, and probably before that when the permisssive society first got a foothold in schools.

Thank the Lord that it's illegal now. An otrageous and barbaric practice.

I'm 1000% against outrageous and barbaric practices everywhere, but I don't see corporal punishment as being that, provided it is done by a head teacher or head of year and their are restrictions on how it is administered. How would you maintain discipline in schools? The present system is simply not working, with outrageous, barbaric acts still being carried out unrestricted, and
almost always, by children?
