Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, today announced that teachers are to be given greater encouragement to use physical force on pupils where necessary, in order to maintain authority and discipline in the classroom.
Gove said that lapses in discipline and school attendance have fuelled an "educational underclass" who populate gangs and fuel crime and social breakdown.
This is the first move to tackle the causes of August's looting by England's "social underclass".
TWOL thinks this is a brilliant idea. Obviously, violence is never the answer but teenagers must face reasonable levels of discipline. If you eat too much chocolate, you feel sick. Similarly, if a teenager has too much freedom, chaos ensues. The reason that teenagers don't get to vote is because their judgment is not yet fully developed. Ill-discipline causes inefficiency and it was one of the reasons for the riots.
Of course, there are many other causes of the looting. Socialism and the resultant inflated self-worth is one. TWOL is firmly against both. Much more needs doing - and the Tories won't do it all. It won't be fully done until Britain is out of the E.U. However, TWOL thinks that this is a good start.
