Three headteachers on Ukraine and Russia:

[David Young]

Three headteachers have different attitudes towards aggressive behaviour:

Headteacher A is from the nineteen thirties. His view is this:
"When persuasion fails, smack. Use the cane, the birch, the ruler or just the flat of your hand, but people need to know that they will be physically hurt if their bad behaviour crosses certain lines."

Headteacher B is from the nineteen eighties. His view is this:
"Punishment is an essential component of discipline, but all physical punishments can be replaced by something else, from forced writing of lines through litter duty to loss of privileges such as school trips and other entertainments."

Headteacher C is from the twenty twenties. His view is this:
"Nobody is bad and nobody should be punished. You can solve any problem related to a person's behaviour through education, understanding, more understanding, tolerance, occasionally asking the aggressive person to reconsider their actions, more understanding, tolerance and please like me."

Which of these headteachers is most likely to look back at the conflict and say "I told you so!"?

Would you say that these teachers are directly responsible for the war in Ukraine?

I smell a straw man.

The main thing about teachers is that they're typically dealing with children who are much smaller, less able to process information, and more easily manipulated. Once the kids graduate from school and move on to military service, then it's a different set of rules and a different philosophy.

The three headteachers are not just expressing views on the raising of children, but also on what the normal response to malicious behaviour should be from whoever is in charge.

All three approaches could be applied to Russia in some shape or form.

Who is in charge?

Your statement about a 2020's head teacher is wrong. I know teachers and none of them say that. So it's a straw man that is generally false although a few might act that way.

Take as an analogy a man with a gun in a classroom and a police negotiating team. Because that's a much better analogy. Look online for how cops negotiate in such situations and learn from that.

Headteacher 3 is an amalgam of the heads of Barrowhead in the UK, of Filomata ("Bring a switchblade to class if you like. We'll turn a blind eye.") in Gliwice, Poland, and of Дубравушка in Obninsk, Russia.

So, made up.

Did you make up the forest and the trees as well?
