Children Rule

What happened to the education system
why is there no discipline in schools,
how can you teach the laws of society
to those who are allowed to break the rules.

It seems that children have the rights on there side
depending on your point of view,
parents have no right to punish children
but are punished for what their children do.

With teachers not much older than the pupils
there is always the chance of interaction,
and with boys and girls sharing the same classroom
there will always be some distraction.

I don't have any of the answers
but what I thinks a Cardinal sin,
is not instilling in the children
patriotism for the country they're in.
