        "Physical force is an acceptable means of solving problems." He forgot to say: "Makes students think, it's ok to attack teachers"

        Yes. In case you haven't heard, teachers are getting attacked by students all the time

        Kids today have no respect. We were paddled in school and NEVER had the problems they do today. If they act up, light up the butt

        Spanking should be used only in extreme instances of misbehaving, but it should be used with common sense.

        if you hurt someone, you should not only pay for doctor bills, spend time doing things for them. Kids should earn their allowance

        if you break something, you should have to replace it or fix it. If you make a mess, clean it up. Time out/hitting doesn't work.

        discipline should always be about logical consequences. Otherwise we have a generation like millenials.

        ... Corporal punishment is not the answer to problems at school. In today's environment parents could file lawsuits.
