The major reason for that is, many parents don't discipline their children, and they don't want anyone else doing it either. If the school tries (even if it's not corporal punishment), too many parents want to threaten a lawsuit.

This can easily be solved. Laws CAN be changed to make it more difficult to sue. Next, for major offenses (fights, sexual assaults, etc.), study Singapore. The child who instigated the action must be caned. If the parents want to become aggressive, can them too. I am serious...no joke or humor intended. If teachers or administrators are caught in dishonesty, etc., can them too. You would only have to cane 3-4 students and/or parents and the whole situation would calm down.

The young American who was caught misbehaving in Singapore...whatever became of him? Funny how he doesn't make public appearances or statements. I wonder WHY? Can you think of why? It is time for America to wake up and realize this:

Freedom is the freedom to discipline yourself so others don't have to do it for you.

P.S. If that is not good enough for everyone, look up what my tagline means. That should take care of it.

I agree with the above, and I agree that the law could/should be changed to make it more difficult to sue. I'm not sure that I see that happening any more than I see caning being instituted as punishment around here - especially when most places don't even allow plain old spankings any more.
