I realy think they need to give the power back to the teachers. Bring back the cane or paddle & whats wrong with after school detenchon it never hurt me or the other kids that got it..
My 5th class teacher used to drag you out by the ears then give you the cane we where always good in his class. Had the nuns give me the cane a few times MAN they can be mean..
I have been out of the school system for a loonngg time, in my day the teachers had the authority to discipline unruly kids, now this kid that burnt the teacher using a lighter and a can of spray, surely that constitutes assault and is a matter for the police.Quote:

Some kids are certainly not good advertisements for themselves or their parents. Qld public school principals are to be given the power to expel, which is long overdue, and already exists in non-government schools.
Fortunately, I teach international students who have paid to be here, or their parents or governments have, so they are no problem. Foreign students are quite respectful to teachers, unlike some Aussie kids.
But you can't generalize. There are all kinds everywhere.
Why can't all schools run the same state by state there all differant, I read somewhere the other day that tassie is just going to school holidays NSW have just gone back ....
Well i sent sleepy a text today to see how he was going & all are well still computerless at the moment .
But he said to say gday to everyone , He's been busy getting ready for the outback trip i think he said they are leaving on friday so everyone should have some good pics once they all get back , I'm looking forward to looking at them all should be a great trip..
We had a visit today from peter & his wife tah tah peter is our deaf friend , They where here for a cuppa & they wanted me to check there car as it was whistling it was just normal engine noise belts & pullies.. but because peter is deaf its hard for him & cause tah tah is philapeeno & its hard to explain things to her sometimes .Plus i yell when i speak to peter its just natural for me to do as my grandmother was as deaf as a post even with hearingaids so we would yell to speak to her..
There are nice people he has 2 kids from his first marriage grown up now his son is high up in education & his daughter married a footballer ex paramater BOOOOOOOOOOOO..
But he & tah tah have a daughter together & she is a real brainiac i meen that in a nice way..
Our other daughter the adopted one has been home here for the last few days she still goes to her real home to sleep this is the one Karen & I nicknamed bangers as she is well built up top. She is a niece kid 18 but has a bad home life & she was the one to get Fred out when she was having trouble with panic attacks so we will always be greatfull to her for that . Bangers is very outgoing & very loud just like Karen , She calls us mum & dad & fights with fred & cody just like a sister & they call her our sister..
Had a visit from some of the girls friends on saturday evening , they all seem to call in just to say gday even if the kids aren't home they come in for a chat.Although there is a couple we would rather not & one of them have been told if he ever shows his face around here he will cope it..
So that was our weekend..
PS Hey Aus did you understand Karen on the phone she talk very fast & gets louder as she goes. I haven't heard any of the phones yet was outside having a smoke...:angel:
Seems like you had a busy weekend Banj, with all that social activity going on its a wonder you have any time left. As far as talking to Karen is concerned, you are right she does talk fast, however I managed to keep up.........just!!!!!;)
