for clarification of my coming post....I dont agree with the manner in which the teacher dealt with this...BUT...

Children who do not have to pay consequences for their actions have resulted in a society where the children think they can get away with anything. It results in children thinking they have the right to "reason" with the parents because parents are too afraid to deal with things. I'm 36....when I was in school paddling was still used, soap was used by my mother when I said bad words, etc. What we have now that we think that these things were horrible is a generation full of kids who (speaking in general here) have no respect for the authority of their parents or teachers, kids who think they can go and report an authority figure for anything they feel is infringing on their "free speech".

In my time, god that makes me feel old to say that, if I got disciplined in school, I was also disciplined at home. I get so sick and tired of reading how kids today can get away with showing NO respect for anyone if they dont like how something is done.v I have to sit in a resturant with todays parents letting their kids run amuck and running havoc all over the place because ANY form of discipline is considered "child abuse". I have to go to the grocery store and watch some poor mother sound like a broken record because her kid wants something she doesnt want to buy only to find her finally give in, in the name of "good parenting" because god forbid she tell her child NO.

No making the child cut himself wasnt good....but something about ya'lls reactions to this got me started on this rant. Children of today are really suffering because we let them think they have every right to be in charge. As my daddy used to tell me...If you think you know so much...there is the door, dont let it hit you in the ass...go out on your own and see if your knowledge on life is enuff to put a roof over your head and food in your mouth.

I'll hush now
