Well, Bellamy is just an idiot IMHO
Regarding the traditional "education": I received a true traditional education in the true old fashioned way - which I really think is wrong. There must be(and evidently is) a middle way between slapping your child for every little thing (like our parents did) and a good old fashioned beating for "bad" things, and the modern "let the child do everything he likes without any consequences".
I for one never had to beat my children, other than a slap on their hand for when they tried to repeatedly stick something in an electrical socket .
The problem with modern kids is not the lack of slapping, it is the lack of clear boundries.
And this goes for footballers as well, to come back to the subject. They are allowed to get away with everything, get too much money and behave like primaballerinas. Unfortunately the pendulum has swung way too much in their direction, I hope it will soon turn the other way.
