what happened to Boris's water cannon ? .. a good drenching with indelible sprays and a dose of tear gas and baton would do the trick .. the French riot police should be hired for a few days
School holidays and no money. These events hint at the ability of schools and teachers given what could happen.
Surely it mostly reflects on their parents / guardians and the standards by which they choose to lead their lives.
Those guardians and parents send those self same children to schools, packed 30-35 to a room with one adult, usually the teacher, who has to make something worthwhile happen. It has always been the case (fertility issues notwithstanding) that any fool can have children. Including those rampaging children in the future. Or maybe the parents are not around to set standards because they are working all hours to try to pay the bills. Either way teachers are often unfairly criticised but I think they’re geniuses, not in their subjects necessarily, but in tackling one of the problems created by society.

I may be misreading your post.
Are you blaming teachers for the poor behaviour or not?
Or alternatively are you saying we need the positive influence of teachers all year round?

I am not blaming the teachers at all. Simply saying how impressive it is that they can single handedly control unruly children.

Apart from the latest mobile phones with which they can keep up to speed with this shit, of course!
What would be class is to bring out the military & shoot the fuckers.

They didn't even try and blame it on the police this time.
Whereas on a normal day it would be just a few teenagers and a few police.
A few to me means three.
Loads of footage, it certainly wasn't a few.
I saw tens rampaging & throwing things at shopkeepers in an attempt to rob them.
