In this morning's times newspaper Prof Jonathon Jansen raises an important point WRT the other side of the principal beating the learner half to death. No one can really understand the pressure of teaching unless you're a teacher and parents are quick to jump in defense of their near perfect children and yet they leave them in the care of someone else for a minimum of 6hrs a day for 12 years-OFCOARSE discipline will be an issue! but the working parent who only gets to see his beloved child over weekends overlooks the imperfections of his child and would rather take a teacher to court than try and solve the problems at hand.
Next let me take you to page 2 of the Sowetan today, where two teachers thought they wouldnt beat the child to death instead they would do the sensible thing, the first world thing, the right thing and visited the parent of a disruptive learner. the parent being a traffic officer told them they are more than welcome to come but when they arrived he cuffed them at gunpoint and nearly beat them to death with a knob kierie...

Someone is going to be beaten to death the question is, who?
