hahaha . . . I'll give you credit, that was a witty comeback.  Obviously you've been spanked before.  Tongue

And in educated countries, people know the difference between spanking a child and hitting a child.  Care to try again?

Spanking a child does teach them a lot of things.  The problem is that those are things such as:

- You should use violence to get your way.

- You should be afraid of your parents.

- You should hide things from your parents.

and other such wholesome ideas.

Really, spanking is good to get your kids to stop doing things, sure, but to actually teach your kids anything?  Hardly.  Your kids will learn to act nice when you're around, but you'll really just be breeding a fundamental disconnect between you and your children that will put up a barrier to any chances of actually talking to or connecting with your children in meaningful ways.  Spanking is really no better than when parents use "because I said so" as a reason for something.

Look at which states allow spanking in public schools, and which states don't.  Then look up which states have the highest and lowest rates of high school graduation.

There are states that actually allow spanking in public schools?

In civilized places, you can't spank kids in school. Including the state where this took place, so MODU's scenario is simply impossible.

No, the state where this took place clearly is not a civilised place.

Frighteningly many:

Here's another map:

Red = banned
Gray = allowed with varying degrees of restrictions
Blue = allowed completely, (even against the objections of parents)
Green = not formally banned but virtually impossible to carry out due to other laws or banned in all school districts (this is likely the case in many of the gray states too but I don't have enough info there)
