I live very near Ernest Bevin College and the head teacher is ALL.. When we first moved in, the head teacher was obviously weak and the pupils were so badly behaved, the police almost had a permanent presence and books were seen being thrown from windows and screams from teachers trying to control the rabble.. Then came Chivers.. A hard nut head.. It all pretty much stopped. The boys were educated to take a pride in their school, and to realise the represent their school all the way home. They used to get out of the way when other pavement users walked. They did this because a group of big boisterous lads can have an intimidating effect even if they don't mean it.
They were polite and respectful..
what we have now is something in the middle. Not intimidating teens, but going that way.. more police visits and poorly turned out kids even at the start of the day... I'm not saying they should all look like clones as the Greycoat girls do, I welcome character and stupid hairstyles....but kids need to understand their place and if they want respect then earn respect, if they want rights, they go with responsibilities...
