Re: Is this for real?
Posted by To Susan on 4/05/08

    Please supply the message board with empirical data that shows paddling
    is beneficial in a school setting. You do what you want with your kids,
    but if some teacher lays a hand on one of mine, I would file a police
    report.
    So just an FYI. Your the parent, but that gives you no right to paddle
    children in schools. Have you obtained parental consent for paddling
    children? By the way, my child was nearly killed on a campus, so do not
    ASSUME, in addition he's been awarded scholarships for his academics....
    no thanks to government schools. Thank God he is graduating this year
    with honors. I don't feel the need to brag on my child, but NOBODY in
    public school helped him when he was assaulted on campus. And then they
    proceeded to lie about it too. Thankfully, me, the parent, stepped in
    and did what I needed to do to help my own kid. So please don't say I
    don't know how to discipline, because my method has served him well.
    So where is that empirical data, teacher?
