Mozart is a deterrent against bad behaviour

Disruptive students are being forced to listen to classical music like Elgar, Mozart and Verdi in detentions.

Staff at West Park School in Derby claim the fear of being 'subjected' to two-hour stints of the classical music is improving behaviour.

Head teacher Brian Walker says pupils are given two warnings before having to attend the Friday afternoon sessions.

Since introducing the musical aspect to the detention teachers say numbers of disruptive pupils have fallen by more than 60 percent.

Imagine how well the students would be behaving if they were threatened with Cliff Richard.
