As long as the parents got done too. The recent case of those teenagers stomping to death the goth girl and putting her boyfriend in a coma illustrates the need to tackle these so called parents aswell. The mother of one kid was laughing like it was no big deal during the trial.
Easy target the parents, while they are responsible for the kids what can they do ?
Our Namby Pamby government took to power to control kids out of parents hands
I spent half my schooling with the belt and the cane then we were told at assembly that it had been banned, instead we would get "conduct cards" and one conduct card would be issued out where as before you would have got the belt.
2 conduct cards and you were sent to the headmaster
4 conduct cards and headmaster seen you and sent a letter to your parents.
6 conduct cards and parents were asked to attend a meeting
8 you were suspended yada yada
I personally had 32 conduct cards before the school had a chance to sent my parents a letter !! lol
I was not top of the league ! my point being that I have seen a very very sharp decline in behaviour since the belt and corporal punishment was banned.
I am a very strong believer in bringing it back.
