Schools--Call the Army in

Hi 
I would qualify for this but two problems..
1, Teachers pay is way too low for me to even consider it.
2, The first teenager who bad mouthed me or threw something at me would be picking his teeth out of the back of his throat so I cannot see my job lasting.
The soldiers training includes that if you are "attacked" you respond with overwhelming force as hard and fast as you can.
Somehow I do not think the local education authority would like that lol
All the best Brett

I would love to see a class of modern school kids faced by "Sergeant Major" Brittain from Lilywhites (). Mind you, elf-n-safety would have something to say about the volume of his voice!
The TV series that took a bunch of scrotes and subjected them to pseudo National Service was sadly unable to reproduce two elements that worked very successfully. Both involved 'violence'. One was that a squaddie who let his barracks down repeatedly would be "educated" by the other member of his platoon ("'e fell darn the Guardroom steps, Sah!"
. The other was the controlled use of physically-punishing fatigues by the NCOs - doubling round the parade square in full kit and rifle for an hour (a) taught a lesson, (b) sapped energy from nefarious activities, and (c) made a fitter soldier.

My daughter teaches in a rough school in a deprived area and her lessons are mainly riot control rather than teaching.
She does say that the (few) strapping male teachers they have command more respect and they will throw their weight about and "restrain" kids if they have to (lashing out however, is not allowed). However, as othere have pointed out, there are probably *very* few soldiers who would qualify, and my daughter frequently comments that the older (30-40) late entry trainee male teachers that they get are generally useless with the kids. She had to stop the last one she had after a few weeks in the classroom and send him back to college (he's since left).
