LOL and of course in the last 50 odd years things have got oh so much
better! and besides nowhere did I say life back then was perfect, however I
don't think I'm in a minority in believing that since discipline was totally
abandoned in favour of the soft options approach things in our schools
haven't exactly improved, I mean can you name one school in the UK back then
which had to install metal detectors to find out if kids were carrying guns
or knives?
