[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The threat of consequences is what keeps most of the adult population in line so obviously it works well. Speeding will get me a ticket and I don’t want one so I don’t speed. If I do, I owe money. [/quote]

This says so much about you! I do not live in fear or threat. I drive the speed limit because it's safe, not out of fear.  And when I do speed I make a conscious decision to take the risk.  I don't commit burglary or murder, not because it's illegal. I don't do it because it goes against my moral compass.  It might be hard for you to believe, but some (I believe many) of us are actually good people.[/quote]

I'm a parent and a teacher....I absolutely do not believe in putting hands on anyone-adult- children- pets. No one should fear the ones they love but should kids know boundaries-yes. Should they understand the word no-yes. Can you each your children in a loving way yes...are my kids perfect no but I'll tell you what.... I've only had one teacher complain about one child in the last 9 years. This child was disrespectful to the teacher-my husband and I sat down with our child and let them know this is not ok-it's disruptive to the class. IF they have a problem with the teacher we need to know and will figure it out together but disrespecting the teacher is not ok. This teacher personally called me to thank me and my child hasn't repeated the disrespect. We did not scream or threaten our child-we connected and told them why it's not ok. Teachers have about 30 students in the room let's not make their job any harder.  As a teacher I actually had to sit and listen to a mom tell me how she thinks the school and her husband are ruining her child for telling them "no". She said that we should not squash her daughters personality and thats what the word "no" does to children.....if you are this mom please homeschool. There has to be rules and limits in school for safety and learning to happen. No one is telling you to physically punish your child. I would never do that to my own....but my kids do know and understand the word no and why boundaries are put in place. This is what I mean when I say parent your children.....teach them right from wrong-love them-guide them. Thats how they gain the moral compass. Teachers are there to teach not parent. [/quote]
