It actually gives me a shiver down to my spine and brings tears to my eyes to imagine what might have been happening at home and then to come to school and be subjected to that...breaks my heart. The poor child who will be an adult now...... | |||

"I went to an all boys school so things were very, very different...... Blackboard rubbers thrown across the class at students heads Slipper and cane. Cane didn't hurt as much as the slipper. It was like a badge of pride Teachers using the fire hose on us in the showers after PE If we couldn't play rugby cos it was snowing we used to wait in the changing rooms and play "whakkaword". If you spoke, you got the slipper, once for every word. If you complained, that was more words. We got them back though.......condoms on door handles, dead mice in drawers, teachers thrown in swimming pool on last day of term, disappearing for three hours during cross country Those were the days! Lol " Ditto here. Outdoor swimming pool and having to break the ice in the winter as we had to swim once a week. Calling the teachers sir. Silent prep for homework, 2 hours, prayers twice a day, roll calls. Competitive sport 5 days out of seven, with CCF ( cadets ) the other day, Sunday, being a day of rest. Friends for life, respect, discipline ( I got the cane and deserved it ), boundaries and ambition! Remember being told at the time: school the best days of your life, agree totally! ( Never saw or heard of any "wrong doing" to any of the pupils ) | |||

"So do you think we should go round beating people up? " Never said that, just think theres a lack of repect now a days. When I was younger I was always told/taught to speak/ask nicely for sonething. Not "hey, ya big fanny/wanker/bitch (followed by some dumb ass question)" I 'ain't kidding, i've heard kids as young as 6/7/8 coming out with something like the above. But no, your scared to answer then back incase they shout/brand you a "peado", which again is true. | |||

We were a bit scared...but we respected MOST of our teachers.... I am not saying I think we should bring back CP but I do think that teachers have no powers in the classroom anymore. But also some of the parents don't help matters because they don't work WITH the teachers and back them up when 'little Johnny' is fucking about! Then they wonder why their little precious has grown into such a nuisance in society! | |||

The majority of kids are good and respect their teachers, CP may have gone but the other punishments survive, and most parents do co-operate on children's education. There are a vocal few much amplified by the media when in reality most are just fine. I suspect if you were to find out actual percentages then and now it would not be a lot different. I was frequently punished at school, as I was a bit of an anarchist silly childish thing's like stealing the Gym mistresses knickers, climbing the flag pole and nailing them to the top, unscrewing all the door handles and other petty crimes. I do hope that somewhere someone is still doing the same things thinking they are original. | |||

" Can anyone tell me when they outlawed physical punishment in schools? I can still remember first day at primary school which would have been in 1983,this one boy just would not stop crying after his mum left after bringing him into the classroom. The teacher obviously couldn't take any more as she roughly dragged him over her knee and gave his arse a good leathering with her hand! Poor kid lol" I'm think if you google it I'm sure "the belt"/punishment stopped around 1983/84 | |||

"Corporal Punishment is always the main one. Schools had discipline back then. Now it seems children are left to run riot and they take that into adulthood . Apart from that nothing has changed. " Have you actually BEEN in a school recently? Two of my daughters are teachers and while corporal punishment isn't allowed anymore, the children are certainly not left to 'run riot'. One of my daughters left a fairly cushy job in a very middle-class school to become Head of English at an inner city school that was in Special Measures, last year they achieved over 90% pass rates in both GCSE and A Level; do you think they could achieve that if the kids were running riot? | |||

"Going by my area: There were people in schools at the age of 11-16 that: Take drugs, Bullied others face to face or online/by phone Underage drinking as in getting d*unk, not a social one, And 13 year olds having sex and on the rare occasion you would get then wage pregnancies and what's worse people would congratulate them on this . Due to teachers turning a blind eye and/or authority. These problems are getting worse, which results in normal students not reaching their full potential. People in the day said they drank 1 bottle of babysham, Bailleys, or a small amount of alcopops. Now its vodka and whiskey. So the problem has definitely got worse. Technology hasn't helped matters either. " I have just turned 40 so left school a number of years ago I attended a school that looking back was " rough as fuck" all the problems above happened then. I regularly saw the local drug dealers hanging around the school gates, I went to school with various smack heads, bullies have always and will always unfortunately exist any head of school that tells me bullying don't exist in a school I would call deluded. There are just more ways to bully and seems to be harder to control. Teenage pregnancies happened we had one girl who left school with 3 children and drink we all hung around the park and drank special brew or mad dog 20/20. I do think schools and teachers are blamed far too much for parents failings | |||

"Going by my area: There were people in schools at the age of 11-16 that: Take drugs, Bullied others face to face or online/by phone Underage drinking as in getting d*unk, not a social one, And 13 year olds having sex and on the rare occasion you would get then wage pregnancies and what's worse people would congratulate them on this .

" I finished school in 1975, Cannabis and LSD were the common drugs used in school back then, cheap cider was the drink of choice (budget) but whisky and vodka came out for parties. being a virgin at 16 was considerably more rare than it was in the 80's / 90's My mother finished school in 1950, they had beer and cider very few spirits and drugs didn't really spread outside of London back then, though she remembers 2 girls leaving and being sent to convents due to pregnancy. Nothing much changes except the global market and relative wealth make more things available, and the technology lets more people know what is happening, even in the 70's it would not have made national news unless there was a mass fight spoiling someone's bank holiday. Television didn't have a 24 hour channel to fill, and newspapers were too busy printing international events. Nothing changes except the angle of view. | |||

No questions asked, organised d*unken parties in the church halls drinking down the park, losing virginities in parks. Nothing changes apart from people getting older and blaming the younger generation. If anything the younger generation should be blaming us for all our mistakes, they'rethe ones who got it harder | |||
