Well you are very good at reading 1/2 the posts I make let's hope you read the other half of this one.
When would I ever give them a "pat on the back and tell them they can do what they want"? Never. When the kids infringe they are made to confront their actions and recognise the consequences of their actions. This is a very uncomfortable experience for them. In many cases they have never had to do this before. But hear this. It does change their behaviour. This is what we want isn't it?
Loved the last bit of your post. Lovely bit of journalistic conjuring. From what you write, when I teach kids they become young scrotes that get into trouble with the police.
As for the first bit which I was going to ignore but heck while I'm here. I wouldn't mind teaching your kids because I don't discriminate. I would also understand when their homework was full of errors as they had probably asked Dad for help.
Their - possessive
There- position
They're - contraction (of they and are)
e.g. They're fucked because of their idiot father, that one over there.
Your - possesive
You're - contraction
e.g. You're grammar is one of your failings.
Pretty confident you won't be upset by this because I'm fairly convinced you never read down this far
