I would never give someone else the permission to hit my kid. Ever. Hit em, and I’ll hit you back.
This is the damage that public schools do. First they go to one extreme, and then the other.
Same. I don’t even have kids yet, but I would flip my shiz if a teacher ever hit my kid.
I don’t plan on using physical punishment with my kids. My parents didn’t. Their parents didn’t. I don’t even think any of my great-grandparents even did. I sure as heck don’t want some teacher I barely know and who barely knows my (future) kid laying a finger on him.
I am really surprised it’s still legal in so many states.
Most of my generation was raised just the opposite: get a spanking at school, and get another one at home.
OTOH, the ones I went to school with who had parents with your attitude were the worst little B*****Ds in the school. And those parents were usually quite liberal.
How the times do change.
“I would never give someone else the permission to hit my kid. Ever. Hit em, and I’ll hit you back.”
I’m with you.
Funny that I see alot of opinions here about how bad public school teachers are and how they indoctrinate instead of teach but a lot of those same people think nothing of letting that same teacher hit their kids. Weird.
Even if your position were to deny other parties of their right to self defense?
You mean you don't want a public sector union goon hitting your children? How liberal of you!
“Hit em, and I’ll hit you back.”
Oh I’d do a lot more than just hit them back, both physically and legally.
Dittos. When I was the old man, it was my decision to make and execute, not some school drones I can't trust to wipe themselves after a BM. The problem I have with the school doing it is I might not agree with them, and here is my kid having been hit.
If they think he needs it, explain it to me and I will decide. Meanwhile, yes you hit 'em, I'll hit you back.
