I was just listening to "this American life" and it was about "bad" kids. There were some horror stories on this one, but that isn't what I want to discuss. I want to know how y'all feel about discipline.
I believe firmly in spanking. I am sure plenty of people object, but I know that almost everyone I grew up with was spanked. Of course the most important part is that it is a consistent punishment. I think what we see now more and more is inconsistent punishment.
I worked as a teacher and counselor and the amount of disrespect for elders is really high it seems. I think the reason is a lot of parents stand up for their children, take their kids word over the teacher/counselor/coach assuming their kid is god's gift, and then undermine any consistency in discipline that could be made. Anyway. Let me know.
Ps
If there is a better section for this I'm sorry. I wasn't sure where to put it.
