Anarchy in S2!

S2 have been examining why we have laws.... today, we imagined that we had just bought an island ro £5million... The pupils had to come up with 10 laws they wanted to be in place on their island, and suitable punishments for peoplewho broke them.

Among their ideas were:

1. Everyone has a right to freedom of speech. If someone stops someone having this right then they are not allowed to speak for two years!

2. No cannibals! Punishment for cannibalism: starve to death in a cell under ground.

3. No murder. if you are giulty of murder, you must go t jail for LIFE, and life means life!

4. Free Health care for everyone, however old or young or rich or poor you are.

5. No making, dealing or taking drugs. Anyone found guilty of any of these should be imprisoned for 40 years.

The class felt very strongly about lots of issues- our current unit on Crime and the Law in Society is proving to be very interesting.
