  Blimey this is going to go on and on I think.
  
  
  From my own personal point of view school didnt realy help mre much at all still baffled me why as i went through all the catholic schools and this is not an attack on them, why did they do mass in latin that most of the kids didnt even understand you only knew it was over when people started to leave(no im joking on the last bit)
  I left very early but in the main have been gainfully employed, i have been lucky enough very rarely to have to rely on the state have been gainfully employed most of my life.
  
  What i did learn was that if you got hit across the knuckles with a ruler it hurt si i only got that once!
  got plenty of blackboard dusters and chalk thrown at me(remember them)
  
  In my job i have to visit schools a lot and at times teachers have said would you like to use the white board, although iv agreed iv always found it easier to speak verbally.
  
  
  On the issue of disipline, I don't think this can be totaly associated with school/home life.
  
  When I was young we were poor and living in tower hamlets, but I had strict parents who tauhght me right from wrong, so its not about being better educated, it may be about better parenting?
  
  These days kids do need to be listened to, and helped as so many things have changed since my short time.
  
  I go into primary schools amazed at some of the things I see in my job maybe i will share some of them with you, but don't want to bore you all
