Thugs in school

[El Blanco]

My high school was the latter of the two.

And uniforms are not the be all and end all, but the are part of the solution.

Yes, "thug" behavior is a problem that is rooted in the home, but enforcing discipline at school helps also. If you read my first post in the thread, you would notice how I put responsibility on parents.

smacking your kids - yeah, what a great way to teach them to not be thugs!

There is a difference between a whack on the ass and pummeling the kid's head.

My parents would hit me and my brothers if we were disrespectful. And we all turned out just fine. Sometimes a little negative reinforcement is nessaccery.

You should hear my dad choke when he over hears that bullshit "punishing you hurts me than it hurts you" crap yuppies are spewing to their kids these days.
