I really don't see where this incident is so cruel...We expect to send our kids to school and not ever face any sort of discipline and in most cases we're not sending the cream of the crop...Depending on what the issue was she probably needed to have her butt kicked by her parents also...
Our culture looks down on damn near any form of discipline...We want to qive queit time, time out or place the kids in the corner...And the result has been beligerance, disrepect and hostile attititudes...Spare the rod, spoil the child...
And it doesn't stop with the kids it continues with adults...When is the last time a person that commited a serious crime was dealt a sentence that fit the crime???It's just never ending...
Most will disagree and my position is some what biased because I generally see/deal with the worst that our society has to offer...
If you allow the kids to break the rules their only going to continue to break the laws...
I agree that MORE discipline is needed in the schools, and more especially in HOMES, bro. I'm all about consequences. You fug up, you feel the repercussions. But a grown man hittin' a shool girl in the face, or anywhere else for that matter, with a fist is just plain WRONG.
I'd have no problem with a teacher wearin' out a child of mine with a paddle if they were in the wrong. In fact I'd demand it. Anyone I left the child with would be expected to punish them if they done somethin' wrong. Even so, the first muthafugger that punched one of them with a fist would have HELL to pay.
<span style='color:red'>I see your point, but this is way over the line of acceptable means of discipline for me...
