@KiwiBro...brother, I don’t know how things operate down under...but the problems here in the good ol’ USA started many yrs ago when mom and/or dad’s right to wear their children’s asses out with a two inch leather belt ceased and came to a halt. Nowadays you get locked up, been that way for many yrs, and the ‘state’ you mention comes and removes the kids. The last thing we need is more ‘state’ involvement in a collective problem they created. We need to go back to tearing kids asses up when it’s warranted...and take away the participation trophy theory as well.
I agree with
@Stump Shot Steve as well concerning teachers...but there’s the ‘state influence’ again...merely mandated by the states as to their newfound babysitting role. And if you’re a teacher and wanna paycheck, you’ll do what the state tells ya!
There’s a quaint little 12-week resort and spa sitting on the east coast in SC and on the west coast in CA...aka MCRD Parris Island and MCRD San Diego, for these kids that need a little pick me up, a little boost...they make you or break you, and your new mom and dads’ are highly skilled at it...and you get three hots and a cot...what’s not to like!
Damnit Jim (little Star-Trek lingo)...I said earlier back to chainsaws, tits, and ass! Lol
