@LaurenRae I understand your position

@LaurenRae That's fair, I mostly agree with that. I guess the counter-argument is that so many parents don't discipline their kids anymore, even when their kids misbehave constantly at school. So it's like, if the teachers have to babysit a kid all day, they need to be able to use discipline. But yeah, I also get your take.

@BohemianBabe yeah i definitely think parents need to start disciplining their kids more, 100% but idk i feel like only a parent/grandparent should handle any physical discipline. i am so thankful for my mom because without her i’d have to put my child in daycare & i do NOT trust daycares because of all the abuse that goes on 😭 you literally can’t trust anyone anymore.

@LaurenRae I do wonder if abuse in places like daycare and school have gotten worse, or it's just that now with the internet, we hear about these cases a lot more. It might be like how crime has been steadily dropping since the eighties, but people think crime is worse than ever because of the media.
I don't know, I'm just glad I don't have any kids.

@nevergiveup what stopped it? Do we even know what the results of spanking were?

@nevergiveup I remember the time my two year old brother didn't get brutally punched by my Dad in 1969, as he was standing in the high chair telling my Dad ",no!" We waited for the blow and my Dad just laughed. The older kids who would have been screamed with a lunch from our father laughed, too. I was seven, but I understood that people had changed. We're back to 1968 against the world.

@IloveLucy but what is
A paddled on trousers ? One swat

@Philip06 on pants(trosuers) or a skirt. Usually 3 swats. Only happened to me once, really hurts.

@IloveLucy I bet
Here in school is not allowed but some parents ( mine included) do

@Nitedoc insane

@Philip06 ky

@LaurenRae I did not know that in some part of western world existed spanking in public schools

@smileylovesgaming sure. You don't see anyone wrangle a screaming toddler into a car seat, turn their back and slam the car door on the screams. Not in work - merika. You don't see.

@NativePortlander1970 i bet 😭
