Spanking is a violation of Memphis School System policy.

And folks in Memphis wonder why most of their schools are so horrible, yet go just outside the district and find some pretty decent schools in the "burbs"...

You don’t think the same policy is in effect in the ‘burbs? Ha! All school districts are fearful of suits such as this mother is going to bring.

A little discipline at home wouldn’t hurt. The more it’s exercised at home, the less problem teachers have in the class. In this instance, I’m going out on a limb and assuming the single mom doesn’t exercise much discipline, self or otherwise. Discipline doesn’t have to be physical, either. A little time upfront showing kids proper behavior by example goes a long way.
