I am not a teacher nor have i ever given any sort of lesson in a school classroom but i know a few teachers and have two i class as very good friends and they all say the same thing and have done for a while now that the system is too heavily in favour of the child and not the teacher. I also get to see on a daily basis how things are as i live directly opposite a major secondary school and see the abuse that is thrown at teachers once the little darlings are out of the gate and off school property. I have also seen teachers hold back when fights start in the playground or near the gate because despite what some might say and think the line isn't that clear for teachers. While most of those i know are good decent people with a passion for the job they are frustrated and downhearted at how the system has changed in the last few years. All of this and i do not live in some rough inner city area so god only knows how bad it can be in those schools.

I am a tory by nature but even i don't overly trust them this time round on a raft of issues but there are problems that have to be sorted and if they can sort only some of them they will have done something. We cannot keep having it both ways you don't get to keep taking away the methods parents have for enforcing discipline on their kids and then moan when parents are not able to exert sufficient control. On that point i am a case in point my parents did and tried everything they could with me and i still went to school daily and took great pleasure in exacting as much havoc as i could every class i went too. It isn't always about the parent sometimes it is just a stubborn kid with a bad attitude that sadly only life and growing up can sort out.
