SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION AND MANPOWER : Sir, in my view a

balanced approach is needed. I think one obviously has to

deal with problem children. One obviously also wants

emphasise the importance of preventing children becoming

problem children. This criticism has been made of the

guidance notes. I personally donot

donot agree with it. The

notes seem to me to be excellent and they seem to me to

emphasise both the positive aspect of forming close links

between teachers and pupils and many other positive bits

of advice, together with advice as to how to deal with

problem children.
