Reply to "The Long-Term Effects of Spanking (published study)"

Sorry, Jeepin'. I overlooked the word 'opinion' in your post.

One area in which school systems unnecessarily involve themselves in students' lives is with regards to disciplining students for behavior that occurs OFF-SITE and which did not involve a school-related function. Ex: Bobby and Tim get into an argument in the locker room after PE. One says 'I'll meet you after school and settle this!'. They meet 7 miles away from school in Farmer Tom's hay field and slug it out. becasue the argument which instigated the fight occured at school, the school administration claims 'jurisdiction' and suspends the two kids for fighting. THAT is really stretching things.

BTW...Buttercup: How were YOU disciplined as a child?
