I am surprised...I thought the US had left the barbaric dark ages behind. The only thing spanking teaches a child is that violence is OK.

I've met many teachers in my life and half of them I wouldn't want training my dog in what is right and wrong, let alone my child. Actually I recall seeing a high school teacher stumbling down the street a couple months ago drunk off her arse....yah I want that person instilling there values in my kids.

teachers have been stripped of most of their abilities to teach.


and go check out myspace.com or facebook, I bet your kid's teacher has some nice pictures of herself in a thong bikini being manhandled by a dozen guys up.

I disagree. Reports of violence among youth have skyrocketed. I saw lots of it growing up but it never made the news the way it does today.

it's called more media attention. violence hasn't skyrocketed, but perhaps reports have. now kids videotape it and all that. this does not breed violence, bad parenting does.
