Chaos erupts over dress code

I agree to an extent. Back at school most of us got up to no good. I remember deflating a certain teachers' tyres at least once a week for close on 3 months before we were caught.

Most of us did yes, but there is a bit of a difference between what we did back then and what we are seeing here. Naughty vs Barbaric mob-like actions.

You can play Dr. Phill all you want, at the end of the day discipline is TAUGHT, that's what the teachers did in the past, that is what the army did in the past, they TAUGHT you discipline.

In the past there was a basis of discipline that the teachers could build upon (And they could smack you when you got out of hand - it worked like a charm). They don't have that disciplinary basis anymore and cannot even smack you with a ruler anymore. What to do, what to do ...

The army was and still is a whole other story.

The army story was told to illustrate what could be done if you had ways of instilling discipline into useless nogood bums. Most of all people are well disciplined. It is the riff-raff that causes the problems.

In this case. Charge the instigaters and send them to reformotary. No tollerance

5 rand they all went home and will return to school within days wearing uniforms...

Funny how there is a corelation between the supposed tough guys at school and the quality of their written word.

School uniforms is the legacy of colonial times,not apartheid.

School violence is the legacy of the ANC public disobedience programme.

Not really. Virtually every European country had school uniforms in the past, it was even worse, university students wore uniforms too in medieval times. Many countries adopted school uniforms from Europe in late 19th century
eg Korea and Japan with their Sailor-school uniforms modelled on Victorian
Prussian and Central European school outfits kids wore as did many private
schools in North America. Many European countries now want to revert to
school uniforms because of the benefits (less difference between rich and poor kids and so on).
