In a former time it was
Children should be seen and not heard.
They are not to speak unless spoken to
When an adult speaks to them, they must answer the question quickly and shut up.
All children must stand to attention when an adult walks in the room, and may not sit down again until given permission.
When it is a case of a child's word against an adult, the child is the one deemed to have the "lying tounge"
Children must do as they are told by an adult without question.
Children should never ever use an adult's first name and should refer to their father as Sir.
When this was so, we had respect, low crime rate and a glorious empire
Should these ideas be brought back?
