Thugs

This week I read a story out of the US about a mum who drove her daughter to a bust-up with another kid. It reminded me of a whole bunch of other recent stories, namely one of a "gang" of young teens who raped a thirty-something year-old woman at King's Cross station in London. And of another gang of kids who beat up another child with a hammer. Or the Spanish kids who set fire to a homeless woman as she slept in a bench-park.

What is missing here in our education system? Who are these people who are responsible for the education given to our kids at school? Or is it a domestic problem? Is it the parents? These young teens running wild are children of the so-called baby-boomers from the 80s. They're my age - mid to late 30's.

Monotonous marriages. Monotonous jobs. Debt. And now other issues that have yet to make an effect in our daily lives, such as global warming which we'll all be paying a price for in the near future.

Regardless of whether the problems arise at home or are a problem with the education system, the school curriculum must confront this problem head-on. At the end of the day, I believe that a good teacher will have better access to the troubled minds of our kids than parents will. At least that was the case in my time.
