    Teachers should be given strict guidelines. Teach academic subjects ONLY. Parents, family, friends and community will take care of all other socialisation skills required. We all know George Orwell's most frightening prediction - that the State would program children to spy on and indict their own parents. The State does not own the minds of our children. Nor does it own Language. In these proposals it seeks ownership of both.
