Petition to ask the government to radically change the attitude to discipline in schools
The recent riots show a profound lack of respect for authority.
The problem starts in schools with a system too willing to make excuses,and too unwilling to punish.
Pupils swear at teachers, start fights in class and even physically attack teachers - all with feeble punishment.
They fail to get an education, disrupt the learning of others and make schools an increasingly dangerous place.
The softly-softly approach has been proven beyond all doubt to fail - it's time to change
The government should ensure:
1. Any pupil who swears at a teacher to face harsh punishment.
2. Any pupil who physically attacks a teacher to be prosecuted
3. The most disruptive and dangerous pupils to be taken out of mainstream education and sent to special institutions - keeping them in a normal school is a risk to the safety and education of others.
4. Removal of the apologists within the education system who protect pupils from the consequences of their actions.
