or perhaps they did... and your generation just got it wrong, along with the rest of the poor decisions based on I fink...not I know.

It's like anti racism and climate bowlux. All about money and nice cushy non-jobs for the boys. Idiots have created an industry out of nothing and even bigger idiots follow it to the letter.
Only medication we had at secondary school was being made to drink Andrews liver salts by the headmaster if we transgressed. Anything more serious, and it was the cane.
Never did me any harm.

Follow the science...
Confucious say Morality and Rules is the way - An American couple tell how their children enjoyed their school days in Chengdu and it's a an interesting read. A long read.
....in a speech at Peking University, President Xi described the process of educating young people (in core socialist values) as similar to “fastening buttons on clothes”. The key, in Xi’s opinion, was to do it correctly from the start. “If the first button is fastened wrong,” he said, “the remaining buttons will be fastened wrong.”
Leaving "core socialist values aside", the metaphor rings true in establishing good habits as a foundation for learning. The Chinese have taken a zro-tolerance approach to using mobile phones in school and recommend parents limit their children's online time at home. A fine idea, it seems to me, when kids complain of being tired after spending too long online at night, or suffering mental stress. He goes on to write: Respect for education is fundamental to Chinese culture, and these values had survived all the nation’s changes and even the narrow-minded competitiveness of the gaokao. Leslie and I also admired the teachers’ competence and the dignity with which they carried themselves. It was vastly different from many parts of the United States, where parents and students often disrespect their instructors...and the group dynamics were different from what I had observed among American girls of similar age. The Chengdu students didn’t form cliques or deliberately exclude others, and there was never any mean-girl drama. In part, this seemed to reflect the fact that Chinese girls of 10 or 11 typically don’t engage in the kind of preteen behaviour that is common in the US. And the cultural emphasis on the group means that Chinese children learn to compromise and accommodate. Despite the fact that most kids had no siblings, they didn’t behave like spoiled brats.
Chinese culture has many things the West could learn from, and seeing how their education system works is a good place to start.

A free society v a dictatorship.... you seem to forget that all students in china are taught to obey the party... is that really a good thing, would your posts on here not get you sent for re-education ?
The example was from primary school kids in China who're taught to love party, country and family, in that order, from a young age. Not all of them follow blindly and have creative ways to circumvent party restrictions the Communists insist they adhere to. Students, on the other hand, can be a problem, as demonstrated in 1989. What i'm saying is stricter rules and a firmer grasp of morality instills character in children from a young age is a good thing.
Err is it a good thing? Stricter and more morality than what ? Are our children all nasty self centred delinquents then always on the take? Have you actually been in one of our schools or are you relying on I fink. Here for your benefit is the Marlwood school behaviour policy which featured in a BBC documentary as one of the worst schools in the UK along with its Ofstead report. https://www.cset.co.uk/docs/policies/Behaviour_Policy_4-24.pdf and https://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/provider/23/141341,
Perhaps a brief look at teaching standards will help you understand that our schools do have already a moral and behaviour ethos...
page 14 should enlighten you ... https://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/provider/23/141341
I would love to hear your thoughts on just how we can tighten that up if a free society ? a few beatings here and there, the odd spell in a gulag ?

What's a bam, I'm trying to give up TLAs.
£80-110k seems cheap compared to what this 'special' school wanted.
Private special needs schools accused of letting down children
A pupil who says she was repeatedly restrained took her independent special school to court.

"Her family had been told that an independent special school - which charged her local council £250,000 per year for a placement would be able to meet her complex needs."

Do you have an alternative idea, or proposal to educating kids with special needs?£80-110k seems cheap compared to what this 'special' school wanted.
