i don't deny your points
i'm arguing more about blaming the profession for a minority of bad eggs. Besides, the "softly, softly" approach is more the institution and governments fault IMO.

I had one teacher that condoned my bullying
But several that told me that school wasn't forever, told me what I could do with my life, patched me up and discreetly handed me tissues. It's those I remember more.

Roopy
I do agree with you. I come from a family of teachers (Grandmother, two Aunts and my Mother), and they are pissed off with the "softly softly" approach. And I'm pretty sure that it's not because they like beating up kids.
