Yes, and you guys have it the right way-the proper way.

Ignoring negative behaviour devalues the person.
It doesn't devalue them, it just lets them turn into a little shit who needs a good slap.
People who pack their kids off to boarding school at age 5 reeeeeeeally shouldn't have bothered having kids.
All this crime & punishment talk reminds me that I've been summoned for jury duty tomorrow morning. I hope to get seated on a jury so that I can throw the big, heavy, nail-studded book of justice at some mouth-breathing criminals!
I intend to just send a sperm sample and a frozen egg from the missus, the school can sort the rest.
Hee!

I'm in Texas, so it's even worse. We'll all step outside the justice center after the sentencing and shoot our guns into the air with one hand while drinking a beer with the other.
Why not save bullets and fire them into the defendants?

An excellent point. I shall suggest it to the judge.
I'm back - I had to take her to her friends to pick up all the stuff she left there.
She walked so slowly once we got out the car because it hurt so much - in the past it would be her telling me to hurry up!
She still had to make sure her hair was good though! The bruising is starting to come out on the other eye now. She is desperate to go to school tommorow though - never have I see her so keen!
Thanks for the comments guys I do appreciate it.
My national service idea got a bit of a mixed response.
But this is something I have been a fan of for a long time. I don't just mean miltary service but thousands of young people every year can really help things like the police - theyed be great community support officers and just think of the differance they would make to the NHS. Talking to nice old ladies in hospitals, helping at meals times, cleaning etc.
Okay maybe not for 2 years but certainly for 12months. They would get paid - albeit a low wage. Everyone is then welcome to go to Uni afterwards, they would then have some real experiance of the world and some money after a job.
And for the hundreds of thousands who don't want further education it would give them experiance of work - at moments 1000's of young people can't find work.
Then if you wanted to do a further 12months great - you then earn your wage and a tax credit that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
It would open a lot of peoples eyes to many things.
Mmm, can we just do it for poor people?
I don't wanna do it.

Are you younger than eighteen zooo? If not you're safe!
Ha, well over. Okay, I don't want my hypothetical future kids to do it.

Your schools are still in session? Ours have been out for weeks. How can your kids get in trouble if they're in school all year long?
