The national service and new laws are half assed ideas. If you have mouldy food attracting flies, you don't buy fly traps or insect killer, you get rid of the mouldy food. What's needed is education and discipline. Sure kids already get education but I'm not just talking about curricular activities, I'm talking about etiquette and life lessons, basically the stuff that religion teaches without making the school a specific faith school(since people seem to find religion offensive??!!). Sure you might say this should be up to the parents but considering kids spend more time at school then at home, responsibility should be on both sides. Most of the chavs seem to get their life lessons from MTV and Eastenders!!. In my school we stood up for teachers as they walked into the classroom, why can't this happen in all schools? It doesn't cost extra money unlike good teachers. As for discipline, bring back caning at least, if not allowing parents to discipline. Parents need to question they're kids about what they've been doing or when they go out. Discipline helps with self-control too. Something a surprisingly large amount of people don't possess as evidenced by Sidewinders drinking thread and night time in town centres.
