When at school you had some respect
especially to those with intellect
Would never have dreamt of answering back
The lefty brigade put paid to that


We now wrap them up in cotton wool
It’s now the way forward - when at school
‘Give them confidence’ ‘build them up’
Speak to them ‘nicely’ 😁 never abrupt


They are untouchable and bullet proof, 
Surly, rude, arrogant and aloof
I think they have a false sense of security 
Because of their delinquent immaturity 


When they leave school - if not expelled
Their life will be a living hell
still believing they have the upper hand
Not recognising everyday rules or commands


If you can’t teach at school right or wrong
In the real world they’ll never belong
They will always be a ‘misfit’ in the ‘real’ world
Doesn’t that make you a little bit concerned?
