As New Zealand’s youngest killer (he committed murder in 2001, when 12) becomes eligible for parole, a study reveals that fifth of New Zealand’s primary school pupils in Hawke’s Bay are sociopaths. [Surprised?]
According to the report:
- One in five of the 12,787 Hawke’s Bay pupils covered by the survey was either a danger to others, disrupted other pupils’ learning or damaged property.
- Just under a third of the responding teachers had at least one pupil who physically attacked other pupils.
- Six per cent of teachers reported ongoing physical attacks on themselves or teachers aides.
