Listen to me O Distraught and Frustrated Welch One; you ain't seen nuttin 'till you see the falling-over-backward. goody-two-shoe, bloody namby-pamby,liberal nonsense spouted by Education trick cyclists about how to deal with disruptive children. Accronyms and training courses abound, alternative therapies are relentlessly pushed and active, sustained, obstruction by Education and Welfare(!!!) Officers is standard practice. Time after time teachers have got some litttle perisher banged to rights, only to have someone who visits the school for half an hour per term overrule the Headmaster. Yes folks, someone who does not deal day in, day out, with the aftermath of sadistic bullies, merciless and unfeeling thieves can simply come in and rub the noses of decent, hard working kids and their parents and teachers into the mud. A phrase often smugly used is: " it would not be in the child's best interests, we must find a way of rewarding them so that they have a more attractive future to choose". Now tell me, what is more rewarding than the safe and secure knowledge that you can tell a teacher to "F*** off", use your camera phone in a changing room to recordd your mates genital details to post on the web, wear what you like, turn up when you like AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OF ANY IMPORT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU? Indeed, if you persist, you will get your own individual teachers at home, specially provided for little ol' you and you might even get a wee holiday at the Taxpayer's expense.
So, you see Logo me old china, the most formative years, where a firm hand makes the most difference to later deeds, has been hijacked, twisted and corrupted to the point where growing up means car-jacking is simply a natural(?) and logical progression.
