This is so true.
In the bad old days if you got caned, strapped, rulered or whatever, for breaking the school rules then it was forgotten about. You just understood that there were rules and if you were daft enough to get caught then you asked for it. You were responsible for your actions. These days everybody has rights but no responsibilities. We need to relearn the lessons of history in more ways than one.
