| Message | I am sorry but i can't agree.. students do need discipline.. it is an important part of education, it should never happen in an agressive way but it needs to exist. Would agree with this bill if it wasn't for that article. |

| Message | Indeed, trust me, without discipline school wouldn't be a place of learning, just chaos. |
