gone are the days when the local bobby or teacher would clip you round the back of the head for acting like a prat. parents were allowed to smack their children, you didn't need to fill in reams of paper work, or face a court case. as it was usually enough to restore the respect balance.
but now with all these liberal namby pamby ness we've breed several generations of rude, abusive scroats.
kids who talk back, show no respect, argue, and generally think they run the place.
i think if you act like an articulate respectful human being you should be treated like one.
if you act like a moronic ***** epect to get slapped down.
sadly as a teacher i can;t do that, but i can write a nice list of students who could do with a slap.
don't forget there are lots of nice kids, who actually out weigh the few muppets out there. and at the end of the day it all comes down to parenting. and i know you all hate stereotypes, but i could gaurentee every naughty student i've ever met has at least 1 of those stereo types if not more.
