Parents called into school to get to the bottom of it. Little Johnny questioned. Turned out that sticker charts had been started for the "bad" kids at the school ... any slight improvement in behaviour and they got lots of attention and a sticker. The other kids weren't getting any of the attention or any stickers. This kid decided he wanted some, and the only way to get it was to exhibit the required behaviour problems.<BR/><BR/>The damage is often done before secondary school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-35762891314362465112007-05-09T23:25:00.000+01:002007-05-09T23:25:00.000+01:00If I was a parent I'd soon get tired of hearing ab...If I was a parent I'd soon get tired of hearing about misbehaviour.<BR/>I'm not here to do their job for them, I don't think they should have a job if it comes at the point of a gun, and I think that they deserve everything they get for giving innocents a life-tarriff with hard labour.Sky Captainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15154273736917461358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-2691873999115047442007-05-08T17:20:00.000+01:002007-05-08T17:20:00.000+01:00Another pile of bollucks from our leftist scum adm...Another pile of bollucks from our leftist scum administration.

Then, after the fifth or sixth time that little Johnny said "Fuck off, Cunt" (to the teacher no doubt), he would receive a very thorough finger wagging, followed by . . . followed by fuck all.<BR/><BR/>The people who come up with these ideas are inept, if not insane.<BR/><BR/>Eventually, it will dawn on even the more thick-skulled former students that not knowing how to do anything guarantees one a lifetime of poverty and boredom, but by then, they will be well into in middle age, and the bureacrats who dreamed up these lovely schemes will be comfortably retired, or dead.Black Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347464061061628147noreply@blogger.com
