TaskRead the newspaper article. What do you think of the new discipline system suggested?

Government ministers are getting concerned that young people do not have enough discipline and so are on the streets causing trouble. A tough new discipline system is to be introduced where students will sign out of every lesson and will have to stay behind the school if they do not complete their work or if their behaviour is bad. Complaints about this have already been raised by parents, who say there is enough pressure on students nowadays and they should be given more freedom.

Government officials have decided that it is better for young people to do community service if they commit a crime rather than go to prison. This would mean that they would be given jobs like tidying the streets, painting pubic buildings and doing repairs on anything they had damaged. They may even have to help the victims of their crime. Police have objected, saying that people should go to prison if they commit a crime.

Would stricter discipline prevent these young people from getting into trouble? Do you think community work is a good way to deal with criminals?Discuss your opinion, giving examples.
