Should my kid be acting up in school? NO! But doesn’t that give you the right to put your hands on them? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Physical discipline should be left for the parents. There was definitely a better way she could have handled the situation!

I see lots of posts these days about how the '80s was the last great generation. this is because parents were still allowed to discipline their children. if you messed up you got beat and you didn't do it again. today parents hands are tied because talking to your child does nothing they needed that fear of an ass whooping.
