@chimoaus yeah as above, one claimed to be homeless, but both had gang bandanas around thier necks, so guess it was some wannabe gangsters initiation type thing.
TR Jnr said the dude was apologetic too.
He was yesterday talking about what he could have done, what he should have done etc, but as I said to him, in that situation, doing nothing was probably the best option.
I walked through where it happened yesterday, and there are so many people about, they were so brazen to do it in that area, his mate that got hit, had $100 cash on him too, but they didnt take anything from him.
The whole incident was odd.
As for schools, teachers are what make the difference.
At Primary school, TR Jnr had one teacher, just got him, he thrived, next year in with another teacher, and he struggled
I know form personal experience a teacher can make all the difference too. When I was at WBHS in 3rd and 4th form, in graded classes, I was good at everythign except math, so basically i was the dummy in our class, teacher was always explaning above my level and never gave me the help I needed, was averaging 20% in tests.
5th form, new teacher, took some time, showed me a new way to do things, 70% in school C math.

70%? That’s like less than half right?
-
@Catogrande nah bang on half way, so like 6 times better than I had been getting.

@taniwharugby The effort clearly wasn't wasted. That's Fields Medal level calculation right there.

I think you need to teach them to use violence as an absolute last resort but if they have to then be absolutely ruthless about it.
Of course this is all great in theory, I’m absolutely dreading the days when my boys are mid teens and going out on their own.
