Well, I'm MPSIA - i am sure you know what that stands for :)
But learning isn't something that you can just pick up through practice.
I can play chess, I made it onto my school team, but even though I made captain, I never was and never will be an International Grandmaster. i just don't have the talent to that level. I never made it to top stream in maths, either.
However, learning to keep the school rules and making a decent life for myself as an honest citizen is not beyond most people, and it it that that schools must impart.
I fully accept that it would be a damned sight easier if parents and teachers were allowed to use a cane now and then. Some kids do not respect anything else apart from physical punishment, and if that is what it takes to get them off the streets , that is what they should be given.
