Default Back to basics ?

A London School has reversed its poor results by reverting to old fashioned methods............why dont they do this nationwide ?
Is it all down to the staff they have at this school or could it be replicated?

Sounds like a good idea, we certainly need more dicipline in schools. I can't see what's politically incorrect about it though.

Ahhh! Discipline, a dirty word. What harm did the cane ever do us? However, I was a 60's school kid and a real delinquent.

Any one who was ever sexually abused in the name of discipline, for a start.

Sexually abused in the name of discipline ?
No Wolfie sexual abuse is sexual abuse.....discipline is......
The ability to behave in a controlled and calm way even in a difficult or stressful situation...the opposite of sexual abuse

So people never got sexually abused and the teachers got away with it because they said it was simply a caning?

I think you are talking about a perversion of power by someone who gets their rocks off by painfully humiliating another person......not discipline.

I know I am. I'm just pointing out, a diciplined schooling environment isn't perfect.

OK smart arse, name me one thing.....only one....apart from perhaps yourself that is perfect.
Are you denying we all need a little discipline in our lives ....and it should be taught early on in life...if not by the parents.....the school ?

Nothing is, that's exactly my fact. Everything has to be looked at from all sides.

I posted earlier that there needs to be more discipline in schools.
