Melbourne CBD Incident

[maxm68]

DJC couple of things:
1. It probably needs to start in primary school where rules need to be enforced harder and kids be punished when they are broken without interference from meddling parent. Kids need to be taught respect again and instructions from grown ups (teachers, parents, police etc) need to be followed. Also, no means no and kids don't have to be given everything they want.
2. More onus and responsibility needs to be put back onto the parents. These kids running rampant doing whatever they want, when they get busted  breaking the law, impose some sort of a sanction on their parents/guardians as well. It might make them take a little more interest in their kids lives during the formative years.
My missus is a primary school teacher and is extremely disillusioned with systems and methods used these days. Kids just have no respect and when you try to instil some, parents and Principles arc up.

I'm 48 and times have changed blah blah but.....

When I was 7 or 8 around grade 3 or 4... I was hauled up to the principles office for doing the wrong thing (  long time ago I don't know what I did wrong ) along with 3 other boys...  all 4 of us were in with principle... 2 got strapped and screamed and balled there eyes out and me and the other were told it was a warning and if we stuffed up again we would get the same treatment........  I crapped myself and never got in trouble at
school again !!

When I was about 13 I was rude to my mum once too often and my old man gave it to me - not real bad but bad enough............. I crapped myself and was never rude to my mum again !!

When I was 19 or 20 I was in a brawl out the front of my local pub....... A copper grabbed me from behind in a full nelson choking me,  I nearly passed out he then slammed my head into the side of a divvy and threw me in the back............. I crapped myself and have never been in trouble with the police or a fight again!!


The moral of the story... respect your teachers, parents and the police.  I learnt from my lessons.....

Kids these days aren't being taught the right lessons.
