Fifth winner of the weekly NotaSheep "No shit, Sherlock" award

"Classroom discipline is deteriorating because over-indulgent parents are spoiling their children, according to a report."

The Telegraph reports that a Cambridge University study further tells us that "Primary school pupils are increasingly difficult to teach as they throw tantrums during lessons if they fail to get their own way...Their problematic behaviour is being fuelled by growing exposure to television, computers and video games - as well as spending too long in baby bouncers and strapped into cots - which damages children's development, it is claimed..."Teachers described highly permissive parents who admitted to indulging their children, often for the sake of peace or simply because they had run out of alternative incentives or sanctions," says the report."

No shit, Sherlock.
