We have a friend whose kid was messing up in school, typical 15 year old boy. A lot of tension going on in the house. Long story short the father said to the kid next time you mess up in school your in for a good beating, or something along those lines. Next day the kid tells the teacher because he failed a test that needed to be signed by his parents his father was going to beat him. Child welfare services got involved and went to the parents home. These are good middle class Americans BTW.
You make a great point there. I had the same thing happen, I did something wrong, and it was a spanking. It helps you learn quickly in my opinion. But when the school system quit allowing teachers to discipline physically (such as slaps on the wrist, grabbing the kid's ears, etc.), that's when the teachers would start saying how if the parents are beating you then they need to tell the teacher/principle.
I do believe that's why there's less spanking, especially in public, nowadays, because if the kid just says the parent hits them, even if it's unabusive, then the parents can get a visit from child services.
I hate this f***ing wussification of America...
A little off topic but it does go hand in hand with some of what's been posted here. The school system is failing to a degree, because there are teachers that are afraid of the kids attacking them, or destroying their property. So a lot of the bad behavior, or bad dressing is left alone. There are also parents that are both working and leave for work before the kids (teens) leave for school, so they have no clue how their kid is leaving the house. I see it here on my own block! I know a few teachers, and they push the bad ones through the system, its easier and safer! Sad...............
It is certainly not the world most of us have grown up in!
