Quote:Oh, and as for discipline, if the price of not letting teachers hit their students is slightly less performance, then it's worth it since that kind of discipline should definitely not be allowed in schools.
Right, because hitting kids is the only kind of discipline there is.

Quote:And as for discipline- I never saw anyone at my school get hit or spanked or whatever else. That is not the kind of discipline needed at school. But the teachers also did not put up with lazyness or bad attitudes either.
That's what I'm talking about, not hitting or spanking. Teachers are too afraid to discipline their students (discipline as in detention, extra homework, etc.) because they are afraid of their students and their parents. Most of the kids I've seen in school should be sent to military school. It's totally out of hand right now.
