It's just any discussions like these are pointless - anyone in the school system 40 years ago has no idea what it is like now and it is the same the other way around. All these threads just end up with posts of "back in my day"...

I myself have had kids in the school sytem from 1976 till 2 years ago, I now have grandchildren at school.

So it's not just a case of "back in my day" I take notice of what's going on.

So no they are not pointless comments. Us oldies know what it was like then and now, and are able to compare.

However only have one first hand account... just like everyone else, regardless of age.

When at school there werew plenty of ways to keep us under control many of which are now banned. My own daughter says it can be bad and she is a pleb at Grangemouth High. Even in primary schools it can be bad as she has first hand experience of and got a broken arm as proof.

Think there is quite a lot of excessive bad behaviour in schools reported in the media, and seemingly is quite rare. (sorry, just heard that the other day .. can't offer any proof). Ok, know lots of teachers can't cope with their classes much any more, and some have nervous breakdowns,etc.

Of course, have no up-to-date experience, can only go off my own reports from younger members of the family who never complained about this type of situation.

Are there any schools in Hyndburn suffering with disruptive behaviour ? Would be good to hear from our younger members as to what they think.

For example, seems the prosecutions for truancy has gone up this year, (just seen Cashy's post ), but this did not exist in 'our day', and there was always plenty of this going on with false sick notes handed to teachers.

Just open minded at the moment, that's all.

Waterloo kate

the only time I watch that is when the other have is in it, then I usually record it on Sky+ so I can get rid of the irrelevant bits

Is that over 50 years; or is it for those with an IQ over 50?

In my day you didn't F and blind in class, you didn't disrespect your teachers, nor did you assault them either, and pupils being expelled or excluded was very rare and why, because if you misbehaved you knew exactly what to expect, and you deserved it too

guns, knives, gangs.... the list is endless of course it far worse these days:

i dont want to be rude but how old are u? there is no way grange hill is responsible for the problems in our schools.

my understanding is its a social thing, more kids are misbehaving as its seen to be cool, getting excluded or having an asbo is seen as a badge of honour nowadays and the kids that come from poor upbringing now just give up and be the "bad" boy rather than try and drag themselves out of the gutter
