You probably deserved the paddling you got.. :)

I work at a school. What this guy is saying is the truth. I don't think the school should be in the business of physical discipline, but the parents should be...but they won't. (And if they did the school would call the cops probably). The kids that are coming up today, (not all, but more and more every year) or monsters in the making...created by parents who think they can do no wrong and deserve nothing but praise and smiles all day long. I have muttered the words, "I'm starting the think the Nuns were on to something..." or "If we could have these kids plow a field it would do them all good." Let's face it... America used to raise better kids then we do these days... why is that??? I think part of that answer is in the paddle.

I don't remember any paddles at my school. A paddle from a teacher or principle would have been preferable to what happened when I got home. We were held to account. Now days if the parent tries any discipline the kid calls CPS on them.
