The spanking of kids in Texas won't last long because parents will just launch lawsuits against the schools.
Cool, then democracy and the law works.

It's up to the parents to punish their kids not government institutions.
Then why do we have youth laws?

In my day it wasn't called bullying. It was called Block A, Block B, Block C and Block D.

We use to beat the crap out of everyone (except the statisticians - who either weren't around back then or have very short memories).
Using the strap is hardly "beating the crap out of everyone". I sense emotion.

Bear, have you been through a public school system that has corporal punishment?

Yes, until I was five. Where it was metered out with reason. Then I was shipped off to Quebec and a Catholic school, where it was metered out without reason and for all manners of silliness. Then I was incarcerated in a Religious Juvenile detention institution where it was again metered out and I found myself excelling, in both behaviour and grades.

Anything else you want to know?

How come you misbehave on this forum so much? Didn't it teach you to respect others? :canada:

Yes it did. I choose not to respect those that express certain deficient traits, ie; hypocrisy, lack of critical thought and reason.

The why do we have youth justice laws?

Do you think "time outs" actually work when children misbehave? We have tried all this so called new wave discipline and look what kind of crimes kids today are committing today. Kids do bad in school and right away it is ADHD lets give them drugs. How about parents just start taking more of an interest in their children and stop relying on others to raise them. Sit down and do homework with them., help them study for exams if it will help.

Facts? You can find anything on the internet to support your facts or my facts or their facts. There is nothing factual about the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of corporal punishment. The only certainty would be that whoever laid a hand on my kid would politely have a large garden gnome shoved up their ass.

Agreed, up to the last statement.

I know a fact relevant to the effectiveness/ineffectiveness of physical corporal punishment. :)

Upon being struck, the nerve endings sense the skin suffers an injury. Blood rushes to the area of the injury. There's a fact of effect for you. :D

Ya so? Look at what has become of the school system in the last 20 years. Are we going to blame that on me too?

If you brought up your kid properly chances are the teachers would never have reason to use a paddle or a strap. However many parents have never bothered to instruct their brats on manners and when they act up in class there is nothing the teacher can do to control them. I have actually heard a parent that I know never disciplined their brats tell a teacher who was trying to control one of the brats that was creating a disturbance say"my son would never do that".
