You are correct. The teachers are there to teach, not babysit. I dont know how they do it with the kids the way they are now. I think many get frustrated and end up doing what this teacher did. It was a bad judgement call. |
This is truely amazing
You could not pay me enough to be a teacher. I'm sure I would beat some of those kids.
Personally I believe it was easier to grow up and do the right thing when all authority figures were on the same page. So many kids now dont trust anyone because every where they turn there is a new set of rules.
My parents rasied 6 kids and we all grew up to be productive citizens. I, was a single working mother of 6 kids, with an absentee father, and they are all working, going to school and raising families.
And none of us are in therapy from being spanked.
