A most excellent point. Because of overwhelming political correctness, we rarely rely on this connection in today's society. I believe many of society's ills could have been avoided had more kids gotten a swat on the butt a few times during their childhood.
Quote:I find it especially disturbing that a teacher would think that he would have the right to interfere with my disciplining my child at any time.
Agreed. Unless there is clear evidence of abuse (bruising, etc.), stay out of parents' business. When it's time for my kid to get a spanking, he's going to get it.
Quote:"Diminishes self esteem?" Heck yes it diminishes his self esteem. As a parent or grandparent, why on earth would I want him to feel good about misbehaving?
Exactly, but this is what the liberals can't or won't understand. For some reason they want the little kiddos to always "feel" good, to be their pals rather than children. No winners, no losers. If more people were parents first, friends later I think we'd have generally "better" (for lack of a better word) kids all around. I doubt that many parents of the "Greatest Generation" shrank from the parental responsibility of correcting their kids' bad behavior.
