Sir: I feel quite incensed at seeing the large photograph of a disruptive boy being given prominence on the front page of your newspaper (29 October).

It would seem to me to encourage his feeling of power and importance, making the already almost impossible task of teachers trying to instill discipline even more difficult. To me it is thoughtless, irresponsible journalism.
