What I can't understand colin is why teachers avoid sites that take children when you and I see a different view, one of well balanced children behaving as children when on their free time. I beleive that some of the blame for lack of respect for teachers must be placed at the teachers own door.

When my son was going through his senior school we used to visit on opening days and talk about his acheivements, progress etc. and we were amazed what differences were apparewnt in different subjects, I asked one of the masters was he talking about my son as the previous teacher had given a totally opposite report. I also noted that teachers would not call a child a dunce etc. but would dress up there reports to read the way the parents would like to hear. thus avoiding confrontation.

when children read the reports they knew that what was said was not true how could they give the writer any respect.

My son I might say is now the managing director of his own company with a very large turnover per year. this from a boy who was deemed to be a loser by some of the teachers involved in his education !!!

Shiraz - unfortunately as a retired college lecturer the powers that be will not accept negative criticism today - it is impossible to give a bad report, it must be worded as to be read in a positive vane. I have had many excellent students pass through my lectures and some have progressed to being qualified architects/civil engineers running their own practices. However there are also the other end of the scale. One craft student was not fit to be allowed to enter the carpentry shop - there was no telling what he would get up to. I won this lad over the first time he entered my mathematics lecture by ignoring his ways during the lecture but having a word with him afterwards. he thought I was going to have a go at him because of his behaveour, however I started off by asking how his family was as I knew his grandfather many years ago. The following week he came and told me he had spoken to his grandfather and that he sends his regards as we had not seen one and another for many years. Great student after this initial break through and he passed the mathematics end of year.

Perserverance is a great thing and can work on times.

Hi Richard H - Sorry you disagree with my opinion and perhaps I should express myself another way. I beleive that more than 95% of schoolchildren are a credit to their parents, the schools they attend and that they give respect where it is deserved. I meet a lot of children when caravanning and believe they, if listened to they can hold a very good and sensible conversation with you. I have also found that if you meet them half way in any situation they will respond in a similar manner.

I also subscribe to the fact that if you meet a group of youngsters on your own then mob culture may prevail.

I live in the NE of England and find that we locally have a very capable and talented group of youngsters, and most of them are a very important part of the community.

I mainly use CC sites and CL's and some of the children you meet when I am there are a credit to their parents and society.

with regard to respect I will always maintain that respect has to be earned. and how I long for the days when, lawyers didnt chase ambulances, that the village policemen who had the power to clip you around the ear. school teachers who teached and who went to sites who also accepted children etc,etc,etc.

what about people that can't have children, why should they have to be on a site that has them, what happened to freedom of choice,if both sorts are out there use them, in the past i could have been upset because some sites wouldn't take my dog, just because he was a doberman, or just because they didn't take dogs, did I rant and rave, no I choose one that took dogs. end of story, we all have choices in this world, choose the site you want and stick to it.

Jayne - I have not in any of my postings mentioned that Adult Sites should be avoided. I only comment on the feeble reasons why some people want sites where children are not allowed. I am sorry that you have no children but if you use that reason for wanting to attend Adult sites then I think you are misguided.

I and my wife are near 70 and you could say we were childless but we love going to sites where an allround atmosphere pertains
