Look at Clinton's behavior. Look at the last vote. Gee, I wonder where kids are learning this from? Can a Parent actually offset so many examples given to our children by the public? Can they compete, realistically with peers and natural selfishness and greed when society now has almost made a religion of it?
I would prefer that she stood on the same corner holding a sign saying, "My Mom & Dad Suck At Parenting."
If you have to resort to public shaming for your child you've lost control. The child at that point is the manifestation of your lack of parenting skills.
Is there a cause and effect relationship between those two issues, or could both be due to changes within society?
It's hard to see how a corporal punishment policy at Sandy Hook Elementary could have prevented the school shooting there.
That sort of thing happens all too often now.
"My child says that he didn't do it, and he never lies, so you must be wrong."
"Why are you picking on my child?"
and the all time favorite: "Well, boys will be boys!"
to which the obvious response is, "Yes, they will be boys all t heir lives unless someone teaches them to be men."
Clinton is our most well liked President. You are obsessed with a personal matter that was none of anyone's business. What happens behind closed doors between consenting adults is protected by our Constitution.
NOT when it is behavior inappropriate for the workplace. Had ANY other major CEO done the same with an intern of the company, in the office, and been made public - the ones who minimize and excuse Clinton's behavior would be forming a lynch mob for the CEO.
If it had been the CEO of a company no one would have known about it. There was no reason for it to be made public except political reasons. It was just another GOP travesty that keeps happening. The Reps. have no other way to compete. Their policies are so unpopular that they stoop to the lowest possible levels to make political points instead of doing the right things for voters. It is not working though, they have failed to win the popular vote in 5 out of the last 6 Presidential contests.

Humility doesn't come from humiliation.
Thing is, a kid doesn't just start getting bad grades. If her parents were on top of it from the get-go, they'd notice she wasn't doing homework, studying, etc., etc.
Positive reinforcement works better than a belt.
An aside. My brother-in-law had a bloodhound that they insisted be put into the basement whenever they went out. This was always a wrestling match, with hubby or wifey practically falling down the stairs trying to get him in the basement. Yelling! Screaming! Swatting! OMFG!
One day I'd had enough. I got a Milk Bone, took six steps down, offered it up, and down he came. They rewarded him in the future and never had another problem. In fact? He couldn't WAIT to get down those stairs.
Works with kids, too.
what would it have meant to Lonza since his mother was never around. It has to do with shooters. thanks for the laugh
Parents Force Girl to Hold Sign as Punishment for Being Disrespectful. Tough Love or Too Much?
Worried about their 13-year-old daughter's increasingly disrespectful behavior, Gentry and Renee Nickell of Crestview, Florida, decided to make her punishment humiliating and public. On Saturday, the teen (whose name has not been released) spent 90 minutes standing at a busy intersection with a hand-written sign describing her sins.
It read: "I’m a self-entitled teenager w/no respect for authority. I’m also super smart, yet I have 3 'D’s' because I DON’T CARE."

I'm going to have to disagree there. First comes (agreeably) rage. Then comes exhaustion. Then comes humility.
None of us know this girl, none of us know these parents, none of us know what has or hasn't worked in raising this child, yet all of us seem to be willing to assume that we can operate as if we did have access to all these particulars... :shrug:
Personally, I plan on using public humiliation as a tool - just precisely as my parents did. When I hurt someone else or was cruel to them, I was forced to apologize and admit what I had done - in public. It was humiliating. Our culture teaches (and we are naturally inclined to) self-justification as a default position. It is far easier to just say "sorry" quickly, quietly, privately (which is a way of publicly pretending you didn't do the deed) or "sorry that you didn't like what I did" (which is a way of putting the blame on the other).
Associating doing wrong to another with publicly admitting it, however? That was a powerful incentive, and put me in the right position vis-a-vie my actions towards others.

At one time, I was a vice principal of a K-8 school.
Now, 8th. graders are not known for their tractability, necessarily. Some are, of course, but then, there are those other ones.
One was an 8th. grade boy who was constantly in trouble. He'd been suspended before, and had come back just as bad. The suspension for him was nothing but a vacation from school, until the last one. He was suspended for a week.
His dad took him to the fields that week, where he spent his time "chopping cotton", which really means using a hoe to cut weeds and thin crops.
When he came back, he was a changed lad.
Now, this was back in the '70s. Society was somewhat different back then.
Was this father too harsh?
Humility comes from humiliation and how to cope with disappointment. Many school shootings are the result of kids that have never been taught to cope.

I don't think so. She humiliated her parents numerous times after being asked to stop through various forms of punishments and talks. I was one of those kids as well. I laughed at talks and standing in the corner. Humility comes from handling disappointment. Kids NEVER told a teacher to **** off or kiss their ass when I was in school, now teachers call that routine. Kids today think they are untouchable and can't be held accountable for anything and that is sad in itself.
