NOT all young people are badly behaved.

I quite often go to Banner fish and chip shop in New Earswick and the students’ behaviour is excellent. I go to New Earswick swimming club and the children’s behaviour is excellent.

I occasionally use the school buses from New Earswick and once again the children’s behaviour is excellent.

I come from the generation that used to receive the cane and I don’t think our generation was any different than it is now.

In fact when you look at photographs of children today and compare them with photos of children 50 or 100 years or more ago, they seem a lot happier and so they should be.
