I must be an abnormal human. As a child I certainly took thoughts about physical punishment into consideration before commiting acts of misbehaviour. Of course I was a child in an age where schools were allowed to use a strap. I got one smack once, and would consider that fact every day I went to school for the rest of my grade school career.
Also quoted from above....
" Sorry so long. I feel strongly about this. Spanking should never be outlawed. Leaving bruises is already outlawed and that is sufficient."
The last sentence here is where I stand on this thread. Leaving bruises is already outlawed and that is sufficient.
I'd like to see it back in schools, but maybe only with parental consent with a suspension alternative or some clear guidlines. Parents gotta help more in school discipline. (But this is sounding a bit like a whole other thread.)
