Have a look here for some info - it may be of some use (not a lot

Best yob repelent though would be to lock up all the do-gooders and
revert back to the old fashioned discipline that parents, school
teachers, police and neighbours used to be able to instill without
fear of recrimination.
And I'm *NOT* advocating pure physical abuse that leaves huge
welts, bruises etc, or the young child a physical or mental wreck
-- before the aforsaid do-gooders throw their inane comments about
how children should be left to run riot because giving them a well
deserved clip on their bums or legs degrades *their* human rights!!

I was working in a pre schol play group a while ago, not term time
so no kids there. Having a bit of a laugh with the two girls who
owned it. I asked them where the 'naughty chair' was.

Apparently they would loose their council license if they had a
naughty chair or anything similar. It lowers the little buggers
self esteem apparently.

And that's where this country is going wrong. A little loss of self
esteem at that age does far more good than harm - and it teaches
respect. As they used to say "spare the rod and spoil the child" - how
right
they were!

Andy,

I like it, and I quite agree with the headmaster - I wouldn't cancel school
to bury the little "****" either! :-)
