What is needed is
1.Payment of £50 or $100 a month to all students who get more than 50%

teachers will help each other to get this money and educated people
commit almost no crimes

control large broods .

As part of the crackdown on bad behaviour, she will urge
police forces across the country to follow the example of Essex
police, who have mounted four-day "frame and shame" operations by
filming and repeatedly stopping identified persistent offenders on
problem estates.
The programme in Essex has been successful, even though it may raise
human rights issues about such tough tactics, especially if those
harassed by the police have not been found guilty of any criminal
offence.
Smith will say: "There is no let-up in tackling antisocial behaviour.
We know that getting in early to stop troublemakers works, but I want
stronger action to deal with persistent offenders. I want police and
local agencies to focus on them by giving them a taste of their own
medicine: daily visits, repeated warnings and relentless filming of
offenders to create an environment where there is nowhere to hide.
Essex police spokesman said: "The aim is to target a small group of
persistent offenders by openly filming them, knocking on their doors,
following them on the estate and repeatedly searching them, as well as
warning them in no uncertain terms that local people have identified
them as lawbreakers."
He claimed a four-day blitz in Basildon, which was followed up a few
months later, had dramatically reduced offending, and proved highly
popular with residents.
The scheme, codenamed operation Leopard, was approved by Essex's Chief
Constable, Roger Baker, after specific estates had been identified as
crime hotspots, with more than 20 offences reported each week.
The police followed 14 people in their teens and early 20s. Each was
well known to the force, having built up criminal records for offences
such as intimidation, burglary, criminal damage, antisocial behaviour
and vehicle crime.
Three surveillance officers spearheaded the operation, backed by
uniformed police and community support officers. A total of 60 stops
were carried out.
As a result of other changes being introduced by the Home Office, it
will be easier to make these stops without needing to make a full
record.
Ministers will defend the fall in the number of Asbos issued by
claiming other techniques such as acceptable behaviour contracts and
parenting orders are proving more effective.
