If a teacher would do that to my kid, I would have so much fun taking him to court and suing him for everything he's got. No way in hell I would thank him.
Oh yeah Good luck with raising them kids. They will probably rob or kill someone and end up in jail.

like parents, teachers are one of the most important role models in a childs life. what kind of an example is this teacher setting?
PFFFTTTT!!!! You seem to think that I solve all my problems by hitting people. As a matter of fact one of the last things I like to do in this world is get violent with anyone. Bad parent you say... LMFAO!!! My parents spanked my ass a couple of times when I was a kid and you know what? I love them even more for doing it. You have a whole generation of kids today who's parents let them do whatever the # they want with no consequenses. Thats why you have things like kids shooting up schools and being little #s to people. No respect. Me a bad parent? Well # You! I think I would make a wonderful father. You really dont know me dude to even say I would make a bad parent. I happen to be one of kindest, loving, giving, friendly people you could ever meet in your life, but if you cross me or one of my loved ones, then god help you because only he can. I love my parents and teachers for teaching me discipline.
just because some people choose not to beat their kids doens't mean they let them do what they want and "shoot up schools"(btw i think heavy metal music is more responsible for that). there are other forms of discipline that work, which don't involve giving
OMFG! you have got to be #ting me! who the hell are you, Bill O'Riley?
HEAVY METAL MUSIC HAS LITTLE/NO INFLUENCE ON THAT #
It's a frigging shame that people will actually believe little #tards when they try to blame the music they listen to for their problems. You know what this sounds similar to? Some corrupt priest burning the object of his desire as a witch, simply because he had impure thoughts about her...therefore she MUST have been a witch, and influenced him to have these 'naughty thoughts' about her. It's just feckin ridiculous.
If you ask me, the real reason people do that sort of crap is to get attention, and nothing more. No "I was influenced by Eminem, or even Marilyn Manson." OMFG, that's the biggest load of bull#.

once again, though it really shouldn't be, it is necessary that i point out that the statement in reguards to heavy metal music was a joke. perhaps i should stop making jokes in text format, as it must be more difficult to sense humor than i previously thought.

My brothers friend was never spanked or physicly disiplined as a young child. Time out was about it.
He got away with more and more the older he got. One day he took it to far. While she was telling his 14 year old azz he was grounded for stealing the car and driving it throu a 7-11 window, he tells his mom, "git out my way bi7ch" and knocked her down the stairs, broke her ankle.
What brings this to mind is, I remember his mother and my mother arguing about disiplin once, before the stairs thing, after my brother got "it" right in front of the woman, by my mother. She had the NERVE to tell my mother that it was "wrong to hit a child". My mother replied something to the effect of you raise you kid and I'll raise mine.
This was not the last time he stole the car. Not just theirs, my parents car was stolen by the little pecker head. This was affecting my family and me now.
Funny thing is, he seemed to calm down after I caught him and beat him senceless.
Simply put, noone is the same, different things work for different people. Some kids do not require any hands on punishment, and only require verbal, repremand. Others, need more harsh measures like, yelling and slamming stuff. Timeout works for some. But there are kids that none of these work on.
What ever do you suggest we do with the ones that repetedly do what is wrong and bad regardless of the efforts not to spank? Lock them up? Would that be better, to let them be beat by others that will show less mercy than old dad or mom?
The ones that wont let them get away with the same # that mom and dad did. Someone that might Kill them?
When a parent "spanks" a child they introduce them to aggression by others. This also lets them learn how to respond to a situation like this. Wouldn't you say it's better for them to learn from you than someone lessforgiving?
I don't see spanking as bad. I see it as teaching. There is limits to it tho. You don't want to cross that line in to "abuse". I don't think I know any parent that likes to spank. Infact I find it very hard to do so. But, I find it works and I rarely have to use it.
If you don't disipilin your child (what ever way works) someone else will eventually.
I also believe that the use of drugs has no relivence to this topic. Unless the kid was on them.
BAKED
you make some good points, but discipline can be achieved without the use of violence. "But there are kids that none of these nonviolent forms of discipline work on." i think it's not the child, but the parent who doesn't follow through with punishments, or in some other way can't make the punishments work. also, i don't feel that a spanking is inappropriate, but there is a huge diference between a spanking and a punch in the face.

i still believe there is always an alternative to violence, but nearly everyone who has posted in this thread disagrees, so i guess i concede. you do make some excellent points though, baked.

Keep smoking your pot.
Atleast we now know the reason for all your 'smart' posts.
OMG I didnt think there is such dumbasses(excuse me language) that will rather let his kids smoke weed then teach them how to be good people.
P.S. I hope the pot will kill your sperm.
