Corporal punishment was removed in schools in Trinidad and Tobago some years ago and no real other punitive measures were put in place to discipline students in schools. A child comes to school, no home work or project done, leaves books at home, does not bring an excuse for being absent, does not follow basic school rules or attacks other children. Teacher quarrels, loses hours a day in teaching time trying to train other peoples children, gets headache, blood pressure goes up, eats a lot to relieve stress and child says, She cant do me anything, all she can do is quarrel. Five years later, crime increases nation wide and so many cant see that much of is due to lack of measures in schools to deal with indiscipline since the removal of corporal punishment. Now the same Minister who removed corporal punishment, and cannot control her own Ministers who are in engaged several acts of lawlessness ( perhaps their parents should have given them a good cut tail when they were children so that now they might be more upright citizens setting a better example) wants to tell parents how to discipline their own children....what a thing!!! Now, I am not saying the lady was right to beat the child like that...but she was trying her best as a parent and that childs behaviour did warrant some good licks...who are we judge....children are posting half-naked photos of themselves all the time using the same laptops the government provided...isnt the bigger picture here that that they should not be doing that...are we saying it is okay? What about all the other wrong things that are happening in our society with children...when parents right to discipline children are taken away and children suddenly have the upper hand...what kind of society will we live in...some how at this rate I will feel safer on Carrera Island because lawlessness will prevail in this country!!!!
