Oh dear . . . You are only a child yourself !!
At only thirty something years of age, you have clearly been taught, indoctrinated, and “bought into”, the present situation that fails so many.
You - with your contemporaries - have no experience of what life, society, and education, were like when the “system” did work.
The parents that are now sending their children/teenagers, to you classrooms, are themselves products of the “system” you complain about.
After thirty years of trying the same thing - and EXPECTING A DIFFERENT OUTCOME - you might think, imagine, someone might be open-minded enough to consider alternatives.
Do you - does anyone - have any evidence that the situation pre-1986, was NOT conducive to producing the vast majority of school leavers with a conscious self discipline, social awareness, personal responsibility and acceptable norms of “good behaviour”.
Beating never did me any harm! Sergeant bring me another boy - this one's split!
