I think it should be mandatory that all classrooms and corridors in schools should be electronically monitored to protect the interests of Teachers particularly and all adults generally in the school environment.
These delicious little darlings have had their way far too long and far too many good honest dedicated adults have had their careers cut short by wilful malice supported by the "liberal" loonies.
Children have rights, but so do adults!
We have all read the stories of abuse and maltreat that children have suffered. The ones that come to mind are the catholic Schools in Ireland where if you believe the media (???) Priest systematically physically and sexually abused generations of children. I am also thinking of the Care situation in Jersey where it would seem the entire islands government was implicit in a cover up.
These children would I fear not be protected by people like Kent who would believe ALL children are thugs and bullies.
It is all a matter of balance. Child need to be protected as do adults. We just need to find the right balance.
Oh by the way,
Qualification for HUman Rights is a DNA thing not something you have to earn by performing to a set of arbitary rules set out by self appointed know alls
Of course children should have rights
... and rules
and standards
and reward
and appropriate comensutate punishment.
At least , in a school environment, theres an opportunity to help with their moral developement.
people are so quick to blame the kids....
I blame the adults too.
No wonder youngsters are cheeky to some adults...
The kids of today are brighter, faster, bigger, healthier,capable and have more raw talent than their parents, grandparents and their ( the adults ) contemporareries.......
Those born since the 60's or so are living out the ideas of liberty, freedom and equality that were fashioned for them by the generations that sprung up after the war.
Its also seen as "cool" to look /act/think in a certain way... and we all know how most kids will do anything to be cool.
So, to me, it's No wonder they are "cheeky" or worse to interfering, condescending,patronising lumps who abuse their so-called power to interfere,critisise and apply/bend/make/invent/suppose their (often)outdated belief systems upon them.
If you want someone to learn from you... you teach them as an equal or show them in a language that they understand... you dont force it upon them and expect that to be absorbed.
Its no wonder they easily lose respect for some of their elders when their elders are behaving in an outdated,uncool,prejudiced disrespectful manner towards them..... or the kid is just too immature to know the difference between right and wrong.
If you meet fire with fire, people only get burnt.
1) I hope this makes sense
2) i hope people take the time to hear what i am saying.
3) Im not coming back to my computer for a bit.... so "chill" if your expecting any sort of response out of me any time soon.
I would hate to think my child was disruptive and disrespectful at school or out with his mates.
I would hope that he does have the confidence to tell someone when he feels he has been mistreated or been disrespected himself.
If someone came and told me he had been misbehaving then I would speak to him and deal with it accordingly.
I know he has good relations with his teachers at school and have met his form tutor over years at parents evenings and target settings, I know they have good banter and my son can express his ideas and feelings with this teacher but also not to take it too far with his cheekyness.
I know what people are saying though about rights,,,I mean would a dentist make you sit in the chair with one of those things to keep your mouth wide open for 10 minutes? I doubt it and if they did then after a few minutes and they hadnt come back I would be finding out where they had got to and take the bloody thing out!!! So if I wouldnt put up with it then I wouldnt expect my son to, but he did put up with it as many kids probably would,,,,,one thing I know is he wont be going in that chair again without me being there!!!
:lol:
