Sometimes I think people have all gone mad.
A school is not an environment for military discipline. It is a place of learning. Teaching is about relationship not discipline.
We do not have to beat, terrorise or frighten our children.
Military discipline desensitises people so that they can go and face death.
Education is a fun thing that enables minds to grow.
I was taught by a number of monsters who were traumatised soldiers out of the army and into a classroom. They bullied, shouted and victimised. Their reign of terror destroyed interest in their subject, generated hatred and produced vindictive displacement behaviour. I hated them with a vengeance. One knocked me unconscious!
Thugs have no place in a classroom. Discipline is not imposed by violence.
