Re: Is this for real?
Posted by Sue on 1/27/08

    It is sad. Parents are afraid to discipline their kids. Did you know kids have
    more problems today than ever before? Back in the 1800s, they whipped students for
    misbehavior all the time. Do you think we had liberal people screaming how awful
    it was to make these brats behave? Like I said, if you kid is good, he doesn't
    need to worry. I have 24 students and only 4 have been paddled. I would bet
    that the 20 that haven't totally think the 4 that have have gotten what they
    deserved and needed. If we aren't careful, great kids won't be able to learn in
    disruptive classrooms.
