Search Results: controlling parents

This didn't just start.. some schools all over the U. S. have been bringing it back for ages. Found an article from 2006 about it in the NYT: Anthony Price, the principal of Everman Middle School in Texas, reinstated corporal punishment last year. “It’s had a huge effect,” he said.

Of course those of you who think it's good to put emotions first and that weakness and being comfortable is how you build a society won't get it.

After decades of trying the softer approach to dealing with kids, more government schools are starting to try the old tried & smack them till they conform or leave. I approve. As much as some of you whiners want to claim that getting smacked for violating school rules is the same as when your drunk parents smacked you in anger when you'd done zero wrong to make themselves feel better, it's not the same. We've been soft for too long. Too many kids with zero self-control grow into adults who think it's right to steal/kill others for their own pleasure. In the old days, 1.) Most kids behaved without even having to get smacked at school, 2.) the kids who did get smacked either learned to be better or they got expelled. Either way you ended up with a school that had fewer bad apples which is better for the good ones.

Next step needs to be bringing back the ability to expel bad apples and not help them in any way. Also hold parents accountable for their kid's actions in the world. If the parent doesn't like it they should send their kid to a boot camp or orphanage. Maybe some of these parents need a good whack too. Ha ha ha ha.
