I agree. My point was that dear old dad would start to get the picture if he was required to take the medicine.
No, you are right. The kid should be held responsible.
I don't want physical punishment to injur a child, but when I say that, a bruise is NOT an injury. The guidelines say 'no mark left behind.' That is sheer loonacy.
Our children respect nobody. They act like dufuses at school and disrupt the program for everyone else.
When my folks sent me to school, the admonision was, if you get in trouble at school and get a swat, when you come home you'll get another. Believe me, my head was in the game.
Today children manipulate the staff at school and their own parents to the point of their own destruction.
I doubt it. Did you catch the part about the 'school resource officer (cop) who had to get involved the last time the father showed up? There was a reason the punk threatened the bus driver with a 'If you don't leave me alone, I'll get my daddy on this.' And that was the punk's side of the story, not the driver's.
