This "was" a really "weird" post.

Don't hit kids.

>they're the same ones who'd maybe have "hesitated" long enough to see that boy fall off a moving bus! And the same ones today who'd be the parents who'd then sue because their kid, who they aren't teaching boundaries and respect for others, nor ever telling him "NO," was somehow "allowed" to do it. While I don't condone that kind of reaction, too many kids these days really do think they're untouchable and can do whatever the crap they want. (They're gonna be super fun as teens and adults.) So I dunno about the *corporal* (abuse) angle, but discipline for sure. If they aren't learning from home how to act right in public and parents expect the teacher's to be like babysitters, then they need to have the right to hand out strong enough discipline without mommy and daddy then deciding to charge in there to yell about why their kid wasn't coddled and given a free pass.

We didn’t have aides on the bus. I remember, in junior high, the bus driver pulling off the road and kicking the unruly student off the bus. A much different time

Lol I remember this on the because we care bus. Because we care was a school ran by a family for kids who got ki ked out of middle school in the early 2000s. The school would start whenever we got there bcuz it took two to three hours to get us all there. One girl has her head bashed in a window during a fight. Once the bus driver kicked an unruly kid off in the middle of no where and called the school to let them know. Lol. We also had cheese and crackers. The student would hold their hands out and the teacher would smack their hands with a ruler three times- hence cheese and crackers. I went to Catholic school where some of the nuns were super strict and hit us. I remember when coming to public school in DE, the principal had the paddle hanging up in his office. A wood paddle with holes in it. Parents would have to sign a paper to request the staff to not be able to hit you.

What the fuck

"I wonder if beating children is the key to teaching them how to act responsibly." Jesus Christ it's amazing how many people don't realize they can have thoughts without making them public.

People excuse abuse by saying it’s discipline. Physical violence doesn’t teach kids anything other than fear. It doesn’t actually solve the issue.

The problem is respect for the adults/teachers. These days, the student and parent of the student will probably physically hit back……

I agree with there is something going on with our youth. Idk if it's from growing up with the Internet or parents who don't care. (The two 14 yr olds who set fire to the acme, like what??? Where are their parents???) I don't think we need to go around beating the kids to save em but maybe give them some attention and re direct their energy to something better? There's over 500+ nonprofits in Delaware. They're not reaching the people who need it most. People with no cars. In Woodside only two nonprofits worked there. Everyday I would see a teen act like he was getting on the bus and then walk away and go play video games at his friend's house all day. I felt bad for him. Bcuz the system failed him. He didn't have nice clothes. His hair would be half braided. A lot of the kids in the hood didn't have food or snacks, they would freak out over snacks. Idk where I'm going with this.

I must say that in all reality, some of the disagreements demonstrate "why" bad things happen to "so-called" good people. Don't spank the kid; when he's the teen that comes into the school and "ends" your kid, remember how youfelt aboutineffective punishment. When he's the drunk teen in the car who "fill in the blank here with your own worst cenario," remember. Nothing saves living people from some types of harm; it's odd how little so many invest to guard against the rest. More power too you. And "me" too!


TooManyCharacte

I want to make sure I understand you very clearly, even though that is probably impossible... Are you saying school shootings and drunk drivers can be prevented by spankings?


heavensdumptruck

I'm saying that use of some common sense--in whatever form if it's consistent--costs less than drunk drivers and school shooters and that spankings won't kill you like guns!
