If all the parents were harsher with their kids we wouldn't be having all this anarchy with our youths,rock throwing at football matches,basketball matches,graffiti,school vandalising, noisy bikes/cars, abusing their teachers and their elders etc etc
Honestly,the emotional state of a lot of kids is unbelievable, some are really spoilt and their parents haven't got a clue so these kids grow up with no respect or any idea of right and wrong.
Bring back corporal punishment.
Oh shut up you judgemental bully...
Read the original message please,
It says nothing about football hooligans, kids with knives and undisciplined children, (Im actually insulted you said that)
We are talking about my son. who happens to be disciplined when needed, and without being big headed, I can hold my hand up and say my son and his sister have never sworn, bullied or been rude or inflicted any harm on another child.
So what you are saying is...children are bad with all the wrong doing in the world, and the grown ups have nothing to do with it.
The younger generation who do cause problems with what you stated, were and are in actual fact influenced by adults to enable them to carry out their actions today...
The teacher in the school was in the wrong...
