I have grown up with a parent that used a belt and a school that was aloud to paddle. And you know, if I did something to warrant the belt, I deserved it. Twice in my life. The paddle, whole other story. I did not respect the principal at an elementary school and feel the bitch may have gotten off on the task. Thing is I have three boys and have never had to punish them for their actions, they are so much more behaved then I ever was. I popped their ass when they would get into mischief when they were young, but never beat them. They seemed more upset at not being praised that the action was not the spank but the, oh shit, I let him down look. Kids love to do good, we are here to help them to do there best.
No one can tell another parent how to raise their kids, to many variables....
