I think this latest idea of children being in school from 8am to 6pm is horrendous.

The problem is that their mothers are not at home. It is about time parents took far more responsibility for their children instead of pushing it on to someone else.

The same applies to creches, where babies are put at only a few weeks old. Why have children in the first place? The bond between mother and child starts from birth. And discipline starts in the home. Don't keep shoving it elsewhere.
