[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 162791"] Absolutely agree there Laetca. That`s my whole point about outlawing corporal punishment at schools- just because a very small percentage of teachers don`t understand the difference between beating up on a kid and giving a smack/hiding, why throw out the baby with the bathwater? Rather deal with the teachers who cross the line, and deal with them harshly. But in the process of outlawing it completely, discipline, for the most part, has gone right out the window at most schools. So, here`s the thing. When I was still in school, arriving 5 minutes late would result in a hiding. Which reinforces the concept of proper timekeeping, essential for later in life when you start working etc. These days though, we have kids in [b]primary school[/b] dealing in drugs, right on school property. So which type of a school do I want my children to go to? One where there is a sense of discipline, and where they might end up getting a hiding if they deserve one, or a school where there is no corporal punishment, but drugs are available freely on the school yard? Easy call for me! Fortunately, as a parent, I`m still allowed to give a hiding to my children at home here in SA. Now don`t get me wrong, doing it when it`s needed/warranted, is definately the most painful thing that I`ve ever had to do, and it really hurts me more than anything else on earth. But for my children`s own future, I`ve had to do it. Once. And hopefully, never again. [/QUOTE]
