I do hate to burst your bubble though, but good parents come from every spectrum of society, not just those that are in your church.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is a strawman! I did **not** say that good parents ONLY come from my church.

What am I supposed to do? Argue against a strawman of **your** creation?

Only nearly every thread, you will use strawman arguments.

Do you do use strawman arguments routinely in your personal and professional life? Doing this to your own children would be **very** disorienting to a young child, and might account for some of their learning and behavior difficulties. They are defenseless against this debating technique. I certainly hope that you are not doing this to your children in your classroom. It would be educational and emotional child abuse.

I'm struggling to see how you found anything in that post to attack. I acknowledged and agreed with you about what good parenting looks like. I recognized that these kids do well in school and are obviously well liked by teachers. I did however point out that other people in other situations also produce good children using similar techniques.

As would be true to form you take one statement and then over generalize it and turn it into a personal attack and an insinuation that I am an abusive teacher. Hey! a strawman created by you! What a surprise!

You must be spoiling for a fight if you are combative over that post!

BTW, if I were to take that statement and turn it around and personalize it to you and your personal and professional life, you would be running to the moderators screaming abuse. And that statement can be easily turned around to do just that. You need to be cognizant of what a personal attack looks like and be respectful of Jim Rob's forun. Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts applies to all of us, including those that disagree with others.

Sorry to hi-jack the thread - reprimanding off.
