Re: Is this for real?
Posted by Susan on 4/04/08

    Have you ever taught? If not, then you have NO IDEA what teachers deal
    with. You don't think we try every method possible? Good kids are
    getting cheated out of an education because of parents like you who are
    afraid to discipline their kids. Thus, they come to school and are
    brats. I have paddled my kids twice. That is all it took to know there
    is a line that they shouldn't cross. They are happy, well-adjusted and I
    can take them anywhere. You have to balance discipline and love. There
    is absolutely no evidence that paddling, when done right in schools,
    leads to domestic violence etc. That is plain non-sense.
