Well I will be the one to step up. I discipline my kids at home when it is needed or calls for it. I discipline them in public if they are really bad. I grew up with the knowledge that if I misbehaved and it was necessary I got spanked or slapped.

As for schools, I think some of the problem is that in the days that most of us grew up we were not treated with kids gloves. If I acted out in a disruptive manor at school I knew I would be sent to the office and spanked. They had my mother's permission. Yes there is a time and a place for it, and today's youth does not respect or fear teachers. That is some of the problems of today. A good spanking can do a lot to remind a kid to behave and do what is needed.
