why is this news?
Â
back in my day there were fights quite often
@PedroDePacas: Same for most of us over 30. But then, "back in the day" there weren't parents screaming "don't touch my baby angel or I'll sue." They don't bother to discipline their kids, let them run wild, yet they tie the hands of the schools and the district, so the kids get zero discipline unless it is in the criminal justice system.Â
Â
If we held these lawsuit-happy parents personally responsible, their tunes might change. Until then, this is the result. The only thing the schools can do is adopt a zero tolerance policy and kick those kids out.Â
@donnatella: It bothers the heck outta me to see parents now a days, especially those my age, letting their kids do whatever they want, letting them talk back to their parents even at an early toddler age!... I'm not afraid to discipline my child cuz am NOT going to let my child be brought up as a brat and make life more difficult for him when he becomes an adult.
I have to admit it's nice when people complement me on my lil man who's five years old being well-mannered.
@lilmama09: If my child is in someone elses custody, whether school, sleep over, youth trip, they have my blessing to do whatever is necessary to keep him in line. He knows that, and knows when he gets home the issue will not be ignored. I'm not naive enough to think my child is an angel. Kids are kids and do stupid things from time to time. They learn by error and discipline and I refuse to raise a criminal.Â
@donnatella: The same rules applies to my lil one. I know my kid is for sure not an saint by any means but luckily, he hates to be in trouble so I have yet to get a bad report on him, but when I do it will not a good day for him.
