ok..let’s try another tack... you mentioned mentally retarded kids.. yes its sad, BUT I’ve worked with enough of them to know they aren’t angels.. and they KNOW exactly what they’re doing.. especially when the 12 year old boys make lewd suggestions to the teachers.. because if the teacher reacts in a shocked manner, they whoop it up... many children with real disorders get a pass by their parents in the behaviour department because they feel so bad for the ‘little darlings’.. same goes for autistic children.. most parents get a diagnosis and any discipline goes right out the window. So it may be a real disorder, but it doesn’t mean the kids should never be disciplined.. don’t think they don’t understand right from wrong.
i agree with you there.
