Those WERE the days !! ;) :y
Discipline....never did me any harm. I hold (or held) no malice towards any of the teachers that walloped me, threw blackboard dusters at me, gave me detention, or indeed the local bobby, who clipped my ear a few times. No different to my parents who dished out the same treatment. Its a word long since deleted from the English dictionary called.......RESPECT !!!!!! :)
So.....we need to beat some respect into our kids then. If someone down the pub gives you a fickin good hiding, tell the police you don’t want to press charges, you actually respect him for it. A lot of people in authority in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s were no more than thugs and cowards, great at throwing their weight around with kids, but would scream like a girl if one of the parents gave them some of the same.
My kids respect me, and I’ve never laid a finger on any of them.

Well said STEMO! :y :y

It was not physical assault that made me grow up respecting law and order along with other people and their property, but living in a disciplined Royal Navy family we knew the difference between right and wrong.  That is how to bring up kids, and that is how I brought up mine without any trouble with the police or other authorities.

The teachers who assaulted kids in the past should be ashamed of themselves, as violence breeds violence;)

If he’d have done it to one of my kids, he’d have needed some metalwork in various parts of his body.

Edit: in reply to Tiggers post.

There does need to be a balance struck, but currently it is too namby pamby.

When our school gave up (mostly) physical forms of punishment, with the worse punishment being an hours detention after school, when you were allowed to do your homework anyway, you can imagine an all boys school of adolescent teenagers just went on the rampage.

Those teachers who did carry on with more physical punishment - and I'm not talking knocking the crap out of them - did have less unruly classes.  And I think society as a whole has mirrored that, esp with this no smacking bullshit.

The parents have a massive part to play in this as well.  But, as always, the do-gooding, put-them-on-the-naughty-step mongrels need to be culled first

I think such things were more about discipline[apart from the sadist type teachers]if you were told not to talk in class and did you soon found out that a blackboard rubber bouncing off your noggin hurt and were more likely to think twice before doing so/getting caught again.Respect to me you have to earn you cannot enforce it.

It was discipline through fear, and had nothing to do with respect.

Not disagreeing. But discipline was there ;)
