I am happy for you and your classmates, but ? right back at you. So what? I recall Nuns smacking students knuckles with rulers, in what way does the past educational practices of private schools answer my question or points about time sitting or the predisposition of many on this to jump right to beating a child as an answer?

I’ve long been a proponent of keeping boys out of kindergarten until they 6 y/o. From experience. Both on a personal level and professional level. They have too much *play* in them to sit still for very long. It’s asking the impossible.

With both parents *needing* to work, school gets to cope as best they can, as boys are sent off B4 they are ready for a school experience.

This does not even address the small percentage of kids who have a true attention deficit problem.

About the same as you accusing me of ok-ing hitting kids. I never advocated for that. You’re wasting my time
