Rejected petition Bring Back the Belt in Schools
More details
The standards of discipline among children are deteriorating at a shocking rate and it is largely to do with the softly-softly approach taken to children today where children are mollycodled so much they believe they can get away with anything they want; clearly shown in the large amount of youths that took part in the recent riots across the country.
If teachers are given more rights to discipline pupils under their care then the behaviour of these children will improve as will the standards of their work
