Without checking any of the figures, or statistics, I think it is a safe bet that the highest standards are in the countries that still believe in discipline for children until they are old enough to discipline themselves. As for bullying - that has extended to teachers also being bullied by recalcitrant pupils. In my time, ratbags didn't prance around the classroom making it difficult for the teacher and those pupils who wanted to learn. Why? Because the ultimate deterrent was stood in the corner behind the teacher and it was just quivering with anticipation. And the biggest bully in the school was the headmaster, ever anxious to scythe down the playground bullies with his cane. Of course child psychologists and do-gooders had yet to be invented!
