You know how I learned respect at school? Our principal had a paddle with holes drilled in it. I never got the paddle but after getting in a fight at school I heard the whistle of the paddle as he swung it and smacked a filing cabinet.
That shit would never fly today and it’s kinda mind blowing that it flew then, but it did and it worked.
Got mybass whipped deservedly more than I like to admit by teachers. Never went home and told except one time when I was innocent. Basically my dad told the teacher, ok cool, you gotta give him a pass on the next one though. I prepaid for the next thing and they realized I was gonna collect. So they busted me for something I probably would not have took a beating for and gave me the pass. I got ripped off because the whipping I got should have been for a fight or breaking a window or something real.
My opinion is that a swat to the diaper of a toddler, which doesn't hurt as much as it scares, is the appropriate time to teach physical discipline. It sets up all future discipline when it is an alternative to outright rebellion. Go stand in a corner only works when the child will obey because he/she knows the alternative.
Yes! That stupid push to claim any kind of spanking is akin to child abuse is why there are so many out of control brats now. Spanking is not the same as beating a child because a parent lost their temper. It just means there are rules for behavior, and consequences for breaking those rules.
It’s also a bunch of childless academic fruitcakes swooping in and saying, “Yeah, that thing parents have been doing with their children instinctively for thousands of years, across different cultures, different tribes, different lands? Yeah, that is all WAY OFF. Marcus over here did a study and ackhtually, parents should make their kids stand in the corner instead. Yeah, totally. So everyone ignore thousands of years of successful, evolved human instinct that suggests spanking works and, yeah, just listen to Marcus instead. Yes technically he IS a single unmarried homosexual without children but he did a STUDY, so don’t be a bigot, bigot.”
I’ve been tutoring a ton during the lockdowns and it is pretty shocking how little the parents care about their kids education. None of them come by after the session is over and check on how things went. 90% of the time they just send me an electronic payment and I don’t even see them. I’m glad they trust me, but it’s kind of crucial that they know what their kid is learning.
Bingo! I've met a lot of people since moving here in 2013 who deflect so much, if even right-leaning and conservatives, they all want to blame schools/teachers. The school system is only but a fraction like you say.
There is only one thing missing in today's education system: they dont teach respect.

No shit. The school paddle wasn’t really the big concern. It’s was what happened when you got home.

Know what you mean. Worked for me and many other people I know.
At our grade school it was a leather strap. We lived in fear of "the strap."

That should be taught at home, starting long before a child is school-age.

That's the ideal. We know there are many homes where it doesn't happen. School and other community institutions is the next best place to learn.

Parents don't teach respect.
Mine did.
Indeed, for plenty there are but we're the exception. Half the country thinks it's fine to disrespect all realms of authority.
that should start at home, long before a child enters first grade (or kindergarten).
