Corporal punishment for being tardy. Hmmmm. Well, better these kids learn now before they get in the "real world". After all, don't we all get hit on the behind with a board when we're late a few times in the working world? Hey, you gotta learn sometime. Excellent lesson!!!
In the real world, it'll be "corporate punishment" for being tardy.
So tell me, Tomme73, why is it that adults in the workplace aren't disciplined with a few smacks on the behind with a board? Why do you think this isn't acceptable in our (somewhat) civil, American workplace?
Should it be acceptable? If so, why? If not, then why is it acceptable to hit a child with a few smacks on the behind with a board to discipline?
And don't dodge this. Explain.
Explaination -
you can fire an employee who behaves badly, you can't fire your child no matter how they behave.
I didn't say explain why firing someone is okay.
I said explain why employers don't discipline their employees by hitting them on the behind with a board.
If it's okay to do it to children, why isn't it okay to do it to adults?
