Tough discipline at school is good

You wonder where children get their bad habits from and then you hear about a school headmaster who is trying to turn a troubled school around only to be labelled ‘the headmaster from hell”.

And who labelled him as such? The parents did, of course. And why, you might wonder, they refer to him as such? ‘Apparently he sent dozens of children home because they weren't wearing their uniforms correctly, such as wrong coloured socks or skirts being too short.

The school to which he was appointed was a troubled school where teachers would repeatedly go on strike for long periods because of the pupils’ violent behaviour. It all sounds like a plot of a movie where a new teacher comes in and manages to calm a very rowdy class full of underprivileged teens. But this is a true story.
