OT...maybe....But then again, children grow into adults...and we are seeing on a daily basis...some of them retained their childish "manners".... Had to chuckle with your Daily Brickbat... We used to say around here when the children were out of hand...."What part of NO didn't you understand...." Maybe the French should try that instead of sending them to prison..

OT Children in France can now be sentenced to up to six months in prison for insulting teachers, police or fire officers, or railway guards. This is one of those cases where the situation has lost something in the translation. Because it depends what one has translated "insult" by. I've seen some of these "children" in action when I was living in France. But teachers who can handle working in public schools can be real heroes in my opinion.
