It is discipline that is lacking in the present school system.
I went to Grammar School (boys only)....glad to say.
When they introduced Comprehensive Education I suppose they were hoping to RAISE standards to nearer those of Grammar Schools.
It didn't happen, certainly as far as standards of behaviour go.
Disruptive kids simply spoil it for everyone, and drag down standards to the lowest common denominator.
It's also ridiculous forcing schools to include children with Autism and other forms of disruptive (and sometimes dangerous) behaviour.
My own son was assaulted in the classroom by one of these kids when he was very young. I was VERY angry about that.
This idea of 'inclusion' is simply impractical and holds back the majority....rather like the over the top health and safety nonsense we all have to put up with because a very few imbeciles have no common sense.
I also think that single sex schools would be better, so that the kids concentrate on their work instead of showing off to each other. Too many of the the girls attending these establishments seem to be turned out acting like promiscuous foul-mouthed little tarts.
