Spankings...please, I got WHIPINGS! I'm from Mississippi so my parents didn't care when, where, how, who! I got whipped with belts, switches, extension cords, etc. My teachers use to paddle me-EVERYTHING! I'm an advocate of disciplining children. And you know what, when these kids don't get checked, they bring that mess to the classrooms (I know because my sister is a tecaher and I teach too-BAD A-- KIDS) and they take that mess to the day care (my mom does day care and those two and three year old kids are AWFUL!) and the teachers and day care providers can't teach for them turning out the class. We blame the media for corrupting the minds of these kids, but I believe it STARTS at home. The media has a lot to do with it, but you need to be taught at the crib. That's my input on the matter.
Oh and you know what else? When I date, I ask the guy how he feels about disciplining children because I definitely want my husband to be a disciplinarian, not this softy that tells me to handle the situation. What do you all think about that? I'm out...
