School Suspensions Do Not Work

Web Watch remembers a few times that we had to sit through a few after-school suspensions.  We certainly don’t remember the exact cause of having to sit, Breakfast Club-like, in a classroom and “consider our actions”.

We’re sure that we were wrongly accused, completely innocent – whatever it was.  Perhaps we need to check out our PERMANENT RECORD someday, to see what horrors we bestowed on our fellow students or faculty.

Study says – Spanking can lead to mental illness

Parents: how do you punish your children when they get out of line and you need to make a quick disciplinary action?

Do you count to three, but don’t have any idea what to do when you reach the number four, five, or ten?

Sometimes spanking – or, at the very least, a quick swat on the butt to get a child’s attention – is the method of last resort for some parents.  Look, whether you agree with spanking or not, parents should agree that the reason spanking has survived as long as it has over the generations is because it works.

While the old adage of “this hurts me more than it hurts you” may come into your mind if you decide to spank your child, that may not necessarily be true anymore.
