I'd have to agree it's a real problem these days teachers acting as nurses, therapists, nutritionists etc etc.

Children need to learn early IMO that not everyone can be a winner there will be losers, this, every ones a winner hold their hand attitude does little to prepare them for survival in the real world

I don't think my mother visited the schools I attended once during my school years, my mum was a working mum for a lot of those years raising 3 boys by herself

If I received the cane she said I probably deserved it and would give me an extra wack to top it off
