Liza, Im afraid I'm not the best person in the world for advice of this nature.I and my twin brother once had a head teacher ring my Mum and asked could she come to school and take us home as we we untolearable. Im a good boy now I hope

. I would of thought you arriving late one day with the full leathers and helmet on bursting into the classroom would do it for any hot blooded youngster (All respect intended) or some one looking for a role model
Unfortunetly most of the problems with kids stem from their home life. If they get no respect at home, there won't show any, live with criticism,learn to condemn. live with hostility learn to fight, live with ridicule learn to be shy.
On the other hand, learns tolerance learns to be patience, lives with encouragment learns confidence, lives with praise learns to appreciate.
I'm sure I dont need to be teaching the teacher, but as for a quick fix Fraid not. Teachers now a days have far to many restrictions on Rewards and Punishment and kids no it to there advantage. Bring back the cane I say. Regards 4D
