But what you believe is possibly from your own experience, and it's unfair to tar all low income families with the same brush. Are you a bad boy then? If not you have disproved part of your own theory.

have to disagree, that to me is the same line of thinking that says all those on benefits are scroungers. any kid with ability can go to university as my lad did, its all about sacrifices if yer prepared to make em in low income families.

The words when i was inare very relevant - you were already aware what standard was expected of you.

Children newly entering secondary school expected it to be as depicted in Grangehill and behaved accordingly

Too right.. "where do they dig these people up from"?.. I mean the likes of David Cameron telling us to hug knife wielding, drug fuelled hoodies..were did you dig him up from?

i was a bit of a ****** when i was growing up and left school with 0 gcse.

and out of experience i have a large group of friends with quiet a lot of us who came from low income familys and none of us went to university and id say none of use have any real future job wise.

I still say that the dramatised bad behaviour shown on Grangehill led many children, who then entered secondary school, to believe that bad behaviour was acceptable and the norm
when it wasn't before

maybe if the teacher where stronger they wouldnt of got away with it ? or maybe its the "kids have rights to" brigade that made it how it is? my mum said i had rights once i brought money into the house

Teachers were always able to cope with one or 2 such badly behaved pupils per class, but when the whole class had a distorted view of what was acceptable they were overwhelmed

whille I was reading this thread a bloke on the telly made the statement.."our generation have let our childrens generation down"... maybe we should think that way a little before steaming to todays kids... at the end of the day it is us that created any situation..kids don't just "take over" unlike adults.
