I too was one of those kids they would have medicated at the drop of a hat. My parents saved all my report cards, and a common theme right up until High School in those report cards was "Has difficulty with self-control" "Is disruptive in class" "Speaks out of turn" etc.

I wasn't bullying kids, even though I was bigger than some, I was just geeky and uncoordinated and wore the "bully magnet" glasses (in the military, we called them "BCD Glasses" or "Birth Control Device Glasses", so I got bullied quite a bit.

This reminded me of the movie "American Sniper" where the father says to his son (Chris Kyle) as he lays his leather belt on the table:

"...Now we’re not raising any sheep in this family and I will whoop your ass if you turn into a wolf..."

This guy understands his parenting responsibilities. The kid will turn out okay, and as an adult, will thank his father.

He doesn’t understand his parenting responsibilities well enough not to film his kid’s punishment, upload it to Internet, and ask everyone to have a laugh about it as he gloats about what a skilled parent he is. This dad is a jerk.
