Schools are there to educate. Parents are there to bring you up correctly. You can't have schools teaching morals you should be taught at home, that's crazy.

Anyway, I hope you get your car back quickly.

Being taught right from wrong is educating… Being taught these morals in schools at a young age should instill the correct way to behave in society and therefore ensure ALL children are on the same page.  Yes, ideally parents SHOULD teach their kids these things BUT as we all know in so many cases this just doesn't happen.  We were taught manners in my day,  why not today?  What's so crazy   :dontknow: ???

I agree in principle Tian.. However, I think over a generation or two, the morals have been lost and these people who now have no morals cannot be expected by the rest of us to instill the difference between right and wrong into their children.. Its not gonna happen and I honestly believe that schools should be involved and take social standards very seriously indeed.. I dare say they do to a degree.. But discipline has gone sooooo lenient that the kids run a mock.. Teachers have no power and as such the kids have no respect and I believe that this in itself teaches the kids that they can do exactly as they wish, which results in juveniles with no laws or bounderies to hold them back from doing such crimes like taking someones car.. Would it be fair to say that both have equal responsibility and should work together to ensure the moral standards in children are good and reinforced?.. Because maybe this deferred responsibility is part of the problem, parents thinking that kids go to school to be taught and the teachers having no powers to discipline children and therefore having to leave it up to the parents., who in turn do very little.. One thing is for sure, I bet every single one of us on here with good standards could say why they are that way and have the standards they have.. If you were to take a child and put it through the exact same up bringing you had, would they be the type of person to steal a car?.. Rhetorical question.. Of course they wouldn't.. It needs sorting out on every level, its a social disease..

Unlucky… Tragic that I should have to say unlucky, like its normal and ok, just one of those things that someone should choose to steal your car.. Its not ok.. It isn't just one of those things.. Its typical of todays society.. Opportunistic scumbags everywhere.. I hate it.. I never leave my car anywhere other than in my garage, because i know that as soon as I leave it anywhere, someone will either scratch it or try to take it away from me out of jealousy.. We don't need speed camera's we need more police.. Stiffer sentences for real criminals and a strong message to the influential children coming through the schools of what is right and wrong… The values of society are wayyyyyy off what they should be and things are tolerated now that never would have even been thought of 30 years ago.. Its disgusting and needs sorting out..

I totally agree,  schools need to focus more on teaching kids from a young age on how they should act in society, a lot of parents can't be bothered or in a lot of cases their kids can't do no wrong in their eyes.   I remember as a kid probably 7yrs old being told how important it is to put your litter in the bin and taking part in a litter campaign…  Now I could NEVER drop litter, I just can't do it!!! lol   I have kids that go to the same school as I did and I know they don't get taught these morals.  These seemingly trivial teachings are being left out of schools, that's why kids have no respect or fear of being told off by adults and some end up going around stealing peoples pride and joy.  

Sorry to hear about your car mate.
