Indisciplina

Num interessante artigo publicado na Spectator, Rod Liddle explica o óbvio (é uma pena que seja necessário fazê-lo): os nossos alunos portam-se tão mal porque não há nada que os professores possam fazer para que eles se portem melhor sem correrem o risco (no mínimo) de um processo disciplinar.
The greatest crime is to infringe a child’s rights, regardless of whether the rights of other children, or teachers, are infringed through the failure to impose corrective discipline in the first place. Right now, teachers are powerless. They are prohibited from almost all forms of physical restraint against their aggressive and violent charges. They have been forced to rely upon a lengthy and complex complaints procedure which often achieves nothing. And we wonder why our kids are more aggressive and violent these days.
