This is much better than boot-camps or putting 10 year old s in prison
or giving them monitoring bracelets.
Well fancy that - a totally unsupported opinion.
What is surprising is that there was no previous reporting that I am
aware of for the trial.
This initiative was first reported on early last year. Guess like his chosen government Rich is late and soft...

Here's another interesting link going back in time. An interesting comment was this :Drug and alcohol abuse and bullying in schools are only symptoms of the real problems students face, Yvonne says. "The biggest problems in our schools today, we believe,
are separation, isolation and loneliness," she says. "If our kids are feeling lonely, it's not because there's a lack of people. It's because there's a lack of love and connection between them."
So it seems it's not just Challenge Days required but a rethink in the education system which should include more history than the pre European history.
