How safe do your children feel at school?

Almost half of all children have had property stolen from them at school, a survey by a charity suggests. The Howard League for Penal Reform claims that almost all - 95% - of those surveyed have suffered some kind of victimisation.,Paul Fawcett, of Victim Support, said young people are "not getting support" from parents and teachers. As a consequence, they "feel they have to find their own solutions", many of which are violent.How can we better protect children? Are you a parent or a teacher? Have your children encountered such problems?

Reaction:

To safe the childeren at school is the responsibility of the school. But outside the school is the responsibility of the parents. Protecting childeren is one of the most problem by the parents. Because you have childeren who listen good to the parents and the other ones don’t listen to. So it is difficult to protect them. I think that can on one way. If the parent raised the childeren good from their babyhood and childhood. That’s the only solution. Otherwise when they get a child. Encounter the childeren many problems at school, and even with parents.

Should the world prepare for war with Iran?

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, has accused the US of being the world's "real threat" and defended his country's nuclear programme.
Should the world prepare for war with Iran? What do you think about it?

Reaction:

I think it is not the world which’s against Iran, it's the superpowers such as the USA that think they run the world. So it would be France, the UK and the USA preparing for war. But rather it’s one between the ISA and Iran. I think also that Iran has also a right for nuclear programme because there many countries in this world are allowed for this pragramme, in stead Iran. It is not a justice. So the USA must go think about this programme. And i think the USA in this time is not able to prepare war with Iran because USA must first solve the problems in Iraq.

Why don't more children eat school dinners?

Fewer children are choosing school dinners according to an Ofsted report on food in schools. The number of pupils eating school lunches has fallen in 19 of the 27 schools visited for the survey. The reasons include cost, a lack of choice, a lack of consultation with pupils over the content of menus and pupils' unfamiliarity with some of the food. Most of the pupils in the survey had a good understanding of healthy eating but this seemed to have little bearing on the food they chose to eat at lunch-times.
Why do you think there has been a drop in the number of pupils choosing school dinners? Do your children take a packed lunch or do they enjoy food provided at school?

Reaction

It is not necessary of there has been a drop in the number of pupils choosing school dinners. It is necessary that the childeren know what they eat. For a good health i think it is better that they take form their home an packed lunch, because they know than what they. I think also that the pupils have another reasons for don’t chosing school dinners. May be the cost, it is much cheaper to do a packed lunch.

Do children spend too much time watching TV?

A survey of primary school-age children has found that kids spend more of their free time sitting in front of the TV than with their parents. Children would rather watch TV and DVD's, play computer games or play with friends, than read a book or spend time with their families. But with parents working and taking care of domestic chores there isn't always time to arrange family activities.
