So Mr Hindle reckons the HRC report which is actually based on real research, questioning students across the country and factual evidence is all wrong and his view that most students go to school safely is right, shocker, maybe he should go back to school. Learn what the words safely and majority mean, especially when only 23% of students say they feel safe at school from the same factual report.

The problems in our schools started the day when we wrote God out of our constitution, out of our lifes and out of our schools. Go look and see. When Biblical principles was tought in schools we didn't had all these troubles but now is a total different story all together! There is just no regard for our Creator any more - we want to be the god's of our own lifes. Ja right! See where that will take you! Destruction!

Why aren't communities getting involved in fighting problems like these. In many ways communities are watching awful things happening in their background, do nothing, and blame everybody else. Take crime for example. Smash and grabs happen everyday in Smit Street (Hilbrow). In broad daylight. Shopkeepers watching. Security guards looking the other way. Passers by hurrying away. Call the cops, they tell you to 'make sure you don't loose track of the suspect'. And then they never come. All these things happen in the presence of a community. Crime, abuse, harassment, violence, rape - all these things happen within a community that does not want to be involved, or that benefits from them. Lets admit it, South Africa has lost it.

What do you expect. Just look at the teachers of today. They are disinterested, lazy, lack self respect dress like squatters in the more advantaged schools, like models in the poorer schools, and blame it all on the fact that corporal punishment has been done away with. What are they telling me, that they can only teach if they hit, punish or embarass their learners. Their brains are not on the subject to hand, because if it was they would teach the learners in the classroom respect for one another. The also strike (having no real understanding of why) so to hell with the small children who are locked out of the school gates whilst these teachers!!!! pile into buses, toyi toyi outside the town hall for a few minutes and then go home. These little kids are left to sit on the side of the road until normal school closing time for their lifts, because they are kicked off the school property and left to the mercy of any passers by that choose to stop and "chat"to them. For goodness sake earn you salaries, do your job and teach, especially respect for one another.

The DET says: "The majority of our children go to school safely - our schools are not about to fall down." Denials, misinformation and criminality. The management tools of our leaders. Unfortunately they are also the teachers and role models for our school children. It is no wonder we are raising so many criminals, they are just imitating their elders.

it is sad that people are pointing fingures instead of coming up with prompt solution.The fact remains teachers play a cruial part in our childrens' lives as they spend almost 90% of their days at school. Schools are also there to provide guidance,teach and dicipline our children as much as the parents have the same responsibilities.It's just that teachers cant provide the same love and care parents do.It's a pity government woke up too late to smell the coffee.

CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT SEXUAL HARASSMENT MEANS?

Can anyone explain to me what sexual harassment is?

I understand that there is a lot of negative things that happen in our schools these days, but the question is what does society want the school to do? Schools are there to teach and give some form of guidance to the students and not to discipline the childrent. That responsibility solely falls on the parents because i seriosuly believe that charity begins at home. The foundation of a child is what determines how they behave when they are out of their hub.

If only the 'leaders' gave attention to education instead of trying to keep their a$$@s out of jail and stuffing their pockets. These are the future leaders of the country. But thats what we do... ignore a problem until it becomes a crisis.. Wonder what dumbass 'initiative' or comitee will be formed to solve this. Or maybe they will just legalise rape some day - that should solve the high crime rate.. this is the logic of our 'chosen leaders'.
