[QUOTE="croak, post: 650476, member: 361"] My primary and most of high school tenure was in the Netherlands in the 80s. When I came to SA, despite the prevalence of the rod, my observation was my fellow pupils feared more than they respected. As to behaviour of kids I was shocked at that too. Kids spitting at eachother in class for eg, physical abuse in hallways, all considers sporty fun antics, I had never seen anything as barbaric at my age. In the Netherlands my teachers had worked hard to teach and they got kids respect without force but by keeping classes entertaining yet relevant. The greatest fear was that if you were out of line, the principal would call your folks. It never happened and to this day I have no idea what dad would have done but I made damn sure it just didn't. Parents seem busier today, work more, travel more. Have less time for family. It shows on kids behaviour worldwide. In the case of SA I think an additional problem might be that a law was passed taking away the rod but little was done to re adjust those teachers who never taught without. My kids get beat if they get in a life threatening situation. [/QUOTE]
