You can deliver a kid to school, but if the kid then leaves, it is STILL your responsibilty.... and you can be fined and/or imprisonned for it!
With all due respect that was the way the anti-smack brigade led us...All teachers have at their disposal as a form of punishment is detention which the little darlings fail to attend with the connivance of parents or suspension for a fixed term or being permanently excluded.The latter can be appealed and is only for accumulation of demerit or violence.

So you can see that it gives teachers limited control.

I personally think looking for a group to blame for all the ills of society is a little short sighted.Better to blame society as a whole for not getting it's collective backside together and going in the same direction.
