Teacher In BIG Trouble

Granted, this woman needs to be fired and charged with a crime, but you can bet your ass that if this child is told to be quiet next time, she'll be quiet. Kids these days know nothing about respect and responsibility. Warning: I'm gonna have one of those "back in my day" paragraphs.

Back in my day, the teachers each had their own paddle to spank you with if you got out of line. You were genuinely afraid of your teachers. Now it seems like kids try to pull any amount of bullshit they can because parents let their kids get away with much more then you and I ever did. If you were caught screwing around in class, you got paddled by the teacher, sent to the office, and then sent home. In my neighborhood, we had little old ladies who were retired and when they saw me walking home from school early, they paddled me too for getting in trouble at school. Then I had to deal with my dad paddling me for the same thing. "Wait until your father gets home" was a common phrase used in my house. There was no scarier sound then a car pulling into the drive way and a belt clearing belt loops.

Now you can't sneeze without hitting a bad parent. Kids screaming about new toys and parents giving in, throwing items, calling parents names, etc, are all normal behavior I see in public now. I've even told a parent: "if you want me to turn around while you slap your child for doing that, I'll gladly do so" and then the parent does nothing. Parents are afraid of CPS, the police, and other people who want to tell them how to raise their kids without discipline.

When my children start school, I plan on having a meeting with the principal and let him/her know, if my kid acts up, you have every right to spank them. I will gladly sign anything they want stating I won't sue. Children need structure and need to know that actions have consequences. If they don't, they'll get a rude awakening when they enter the real world and have to deal with real problems.
