SoTrue1920,
I totally understand your point and respect your point but I just don't agree with it! We need to stop making excuses for folks that don't want to abide by the parameters, guidelines and rules set by the perspective BGLOs and those folks shouldn't be greek. I also don't agree with the correlation that being spanked for doing something wrong or stopping a horrible behavior will train up a child to think that it's okay to hit a person if they become the leader of the MIP process that's just plain foolishness. It's like comparing apples and oranges. I will agree with you that a lot folks spank children for the wrong reasons and they unfortunately are parents. And like I stated in one of my earlier post spankings or beatings are not the only form of discipline. I really think that when a parent withdrawals his/her love or approval that does just as much or even more damage and unfortunately I see it a lot when some of my students come to school and their parents have kicked them out of the house and don't want anything to do with the child. Like one of my senior girl's mother told her that she wished that the child was never born! Now that's coldblooded and some real emotional damage that seems to really scar them for life! Believe me when I say that I've seen a lot of horrible parenting during my ten years as an educator in good ole' Fairfax County Public School Systems.
