Dave was in Scotland yesterday and gave a speech on school discipline in which praising “Children who stand up when their parents or teacher walks in the room.” This provoked Will Straw to claim Cameron was “out of touch”. Guido went to a state school where you were expected to stand up when a teacher walked in, most parents and pupils want schools where there is discipline and this requires teachers to be respected. It is a small mark of respect to stand when teacher enters the room. Is it really authoritarian as twittering lefties are claiming?
