Primary School TOO Strict?

[Smits]

That sounds way too strict. Walking a certain way? Sitting a certain way? They cant have people lounging, fair enough, but that's too far. Especially for four and five year olds.

I think it sounds fantastic frankly. We all think it's strict because we've been brought up in a generation that's far too lax and for a large part doesn't care about discipline nearly enough, but this is what schools should be like. If it's not obvious enough from what our generation and those currently growing up have turned out like that we need more discipline then I can't imagine what state the country would have to get to in order for a change like this to be accepted

I think there trying to bring back what they did in the 60's and stuff. But what you listed above, about getting up slowly, walking with your back straight is just stupid. Your in school to learn not to be told how to walk etc. It's absolutely stupid. The teachers maybe doing it for the childrens ability to learn, but it's really not helping at all. At least be strict when actually needed. Like behaviour in class and the playground etc.

Yeah we DO need more discipline in schools. Perhaps this school has the right idea, but i think theyre going about it the wrong way. That being said, theres not many things theyre allowed to do these days, so maybe it's one of the only options they could think of.

but being too strict only distracts the kids as they have to may more attention to what they are doing than there own work so there grades may slip also some children may become emotional scared if they get picked on for the stipidest things and may make them feel like they are worthless and always wrong and might stop them from trying to answer questions.
but this is my opinion.
