Lisa Whelchel BKA Blair from Facts of Life is on GMA is now a "parenting expert." She was speaking on this parenting incident in Florida. There is also a mother who has a son who is a class clown and she makes him wear a poster board and stand on a street corner with the sandwich board. Tell him to knock it off. I was a class clown. My mother told me to stop. I didn't. She whooped me when it got bad or took away privileges.
