Because 50 years ago: - teachers had a lot more options when it came to disciplining kids - many left school for work at age 15 - 16 Do you want the good old times back?

That I would like to change, both for the kids and for future employers: broad practical experience probably increases someones chances in engineering and probably other disciplines as well.)
