I didn’t quite finish my post (school run!), I did digress somewhat but my point here is that in order to bring back the discipline and respect, what is needed are radical measures from the bottom up.
* Parents need to take responsibility for their children, a part of this is, are some parents fit to be parents?
* We have imported cultures that clash with our own without strong measures of the necessity of integration or understanding.
* We have allowed people to bring children into the world who have neither the financial or intelligent means to rear them (how do you even begin to deal with this?), this is positively encouraged through benefits and tax credits.
* The Government micro-manage peoples lives to such a degree that people are in fear of disciplining their children in case Social Services intervene and remove your children (through a legally undefined term of Emotional Abuse or “Risk of Emotional Harm”, a category that has jumped in use by around 50%).
I really don’t know what the answer is or how you would even begin but in the absence of all this something is needed and I would support the re-introduction of corporal punishment as a quick measure.
It would never be ministered in the same way as it was before and schools would have the choice whether to use it; they would have to set out very clear guidelines as to what kind of behaviour would constitute the use and there would need to be parental support in its use.
