Oh gosh! These highly educated folks have finally figured out what we have known since Biblical times: Spare the rod and spoil the child.
Am I the only one who can't remember having ever heard the term "self esteem" until the last 10-15 years?

You know what I find most ironic (and I am sure I am not the only one).... these nut jobs will tell us in one breath that corporal punishment is a barbaric act displaying one of the grossest forms of violence needing immediate "government" intervention.... and then in the VERY next breath legitimize abortion as a woman's choice.... and of course that ALWAYS leaves me with this face......

Yes, spare the rod and spoil he child or is it ...ah...obam...uh....hope ...er....change...er....ah......................Spare the child and spoil the rod ??
Nowadays all the rods are spoiled. But then even the Dalai Lama, that quintessential man of campassion and peace, was whipped occssionally by his tutors , when a boy.
But how does that boil down to the liberal wing nut position, that ALL discipline is BAAAAhahad?
Simple: The liberals want to raise sheep while conservatives want to raise lions.
Sheep do what they are told, and do not think. They only bleat. Thats the result of "no corporal punishmnt."

That was my Dad’s way. But my Mom!!! Look out, she didn’t rattle before she struck!

I had a spanking stick for my boys. A piece of lath about 18” long. Made a nice satisfying smacking sound, but was harmless. It was labeled, “Board of Education. Apply briskly to seat of learning.” Three well-mannered, well-adjusted men will vouch for its effectiveness.

"In fact, we have some evidence that kids who grow up in an extremely permissive environment, in which there are no boundaries, no limits, and no guidelines, ...have a great deal of difficulty with their self-esteem ...How can you feel good about doing well when there are no standards to measure your accomplishment by?
No surprise there is no self-esteem, nor the self-respect which comes with accomplishing something worthwhile, because there is no way to measure the worth of an accomplishment.
Children crave boundaries and a sense of accomplishment, and all the parental and cultural laziness of an "anything goes" culture do is rob them of both.

“Those were the days.”
My Dad would say, “Keep it up and I’ll take my belt off.” But he never did. My Mom used this thin wooden breadboard or the yardstick. Ouches, that hurt. But he was the one I was scared of. Go figure.

My mom used a wooden spoon. Even when we were pretty young, we learned really quickly. All she had to do was rattle the spoons in the drawer and we’d shape up really quick.

A new report titled "A Violent Education: Corporal Punishment of Children in U.S. Public Schools" shows that more than 200,000 children received corporal punishment in U.S. schools. Texas accounted for the majority of the cases, although 21 U.S. states allow the use of corporal punishment. The study was conducted by Humans Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union. And what happens to a parent who spanks a child in public?

The hypocrisy is that foster parents are prohibited from spanking at all in their home, but educators can do it in the schools.
Any parent who spanks in public is risking having their kids put in foster care, but the schools can do it without reprisal?
Honestly, I'm most surprised that ANY schools have that policy in place these days. I though it had been totally done away with.
