Quote:Right, because hitting kids is the only kind of discipline there is. I feel sorry for you if that's the only kind of discipline you know of.
Then why is this an issue? I mean, teachers do what they can, with sending them to the office and stuff...I wouldn't say that there is a big discipline problem. Well sure there are problem kids, but they try to keep them seperate (in special ed, etc). Sure, some teachers can't keep control over their classrooms, but they are a small minority.
Quote: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.
Teachers give detention...
