THE EDITOR, Sir:
I am very concerned about the indiscipline in schools and the various talk and suggestions that seem not to have much bearing on the matter. We are hardly hearing or seeing anyone attacking the root cause of the indiscipline. If a survey should be taken of the homes especially in the inner cities and the rural areas then one could see where indiscipline's root lies. Depression, deprivation, discontent, dishonesty, disloyalty, disunity, disobedience and disruption; all these and more are mainly rooted and grounded in those areas.
These are also found in the upper-income homes, but in a concealed avenue. I won't go there. Teachers are not to be blamed for children's behaviour, I personally think that parents should discipline their children the right and proper way. These latter- day generation are facing problems. In some schools the teachers can't even look hard at a child, very good strategies are always outlined in speeches or put on paper at times, but how much of these really go into action? It's only the consistent prayer of the faithful ones and the interjection of the thoughtful ones that can save our nation in these critical times, that's my opinions!
I am, etc,
