Yes. Because then you have a deffinate thing to blame if something doesn't work. You know who to point the finger at. Instead of all this passing the buck to the next person/school/polotician (sp)Originally Posted by carver

Damn. You've got me going now.
Our son's school has introduced a system of Yellow, Orange and Red cards.
The kids get yellows for stuff like not paying attention, orange for stuff like answering back, bullying and fighting, and red for extreme cases.
15 yellows is a orange, 3 oranges is a red. Red - you get 3 days suspension.
The first week Tim (aged 6) gets 3 yellows and an orange.
The orange Tim says is for playfighting. Parents take umbrage - call a meeting with the principal.
It turns out it was a bit more than that - he's flattened his best mate. But boys will be boys etc.
Anyway, we take decisive action. He gets grounded for a week - no keas, no rugby, no telly and no computer. He is made to write a letter of apology to his mate and his teacher.
And we have a meeting with the principal, who informs us that we are the only parents to pay any attention to the card system.
Sheesh.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

eschew obsification...
everyone remembers 'back when or where' where/when things were better .......... i do, too
but now and here is when and where we are
if we don't like the way things are, we have to work to change it ... i can understand the rants and moans but, honestly guys, what difference does that make?
talk to, discipline, love and guide your OWN children,
get involved with their schools and motivate the banning of junkfood in the canteens and introduction of uniform or whatever,
use your vote to influence the democratic process and elect people who think as you do
here endeth the first lesson
but
mostly people deserve what they are willing to accept, don'tcha think?

There's no doubt about it society is worse than it ever was.
Many things play a role as society has changed so much.
Technology, governments, schools, lack of decent role models, lack of discipline, bad parents, bad teachers, crap drivers, 100km/hr speed limits, hot chicks in bikinis running across rugby fieldsetc etc
Who knows how to fix it.....one thing I do know, it won't be fixed by this government.

Sorry I meant fines defaulters... And I mean the Top 45 fines defaulters have a few people under 21 that can owe anywhere between $65 000 to $300 000. I cant read the first page of the thread after my post cause someone used naughty words and work have blocked it...

Nope, still here and you didn't even call to find out. Heartless prick.
The instructions are simple...
Fly-on-the-wall....colloquialism that means being aware of something that you couldn't be aware of without having secretly been present.
Your initial post sounded like the conversations Yungatart & I have in the privacy (??) of our own home. FWIW I totally agree that many of NZ's problerms are a direct result of a lack of discipline.

Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

Proper name is Matabeleland. Don't hold with these newfangled changes to names. And Cecil Rhodes was a scoundrel.
Who cares. Eat or be Eaten.
I plan to be a multi-millionare by the time I'm 21 and living in the Cayman Islands. I might come back when the idiot generation dies off.
