Ornery...ROFL @ you
The best way to discipline a child is through spanking as well as other means. Timeouts are bullshit. You can't do stuff like that only...sure a good grounding is all well and good for some problems. But timeouts used for everything is ridiculous. Groundings too. You need some good spanking in there.
Take two kids...who will walk all over their mom...she just does timeouts and that bullshit. The same two kids at my parents house, are the best behaved kids you've ever seen because they know the consequences if they misbehave when my dad is around. They keep up with their bullshit at home because they know they can get away with it. Timeouts mean nothing to them. They don't care. It doesn't correct the problem either.

It also just occurred to me that men used to beat their wives pretty routinely with excellent results. Still do in many parts of the world!
...so spousal abuse is the same as spanking now?
"Abuse" is relative.
Yes....responding to everything with some method of teaching does nothing.
Do your kids a favor and READ that! It's a method of teaching, which IS discipline!
I'm talking about discipline for a kid...not how you think they should be taught in a classroom or whatever.
Man, you've got a LOT of reading to do!
It's all well and good to smack a kid at home when it suits you, but our school's teachers are not permitted the same luxury today, even though they did in the past with excellent results (yes, that's sarcasm).

No the teachers don't....but I behaved in school. Why? Because if I didn't my dad would know about it and I'd get a whipping when I got home.
I saw nothing about punishment in the overview of all that crap. I'm not going to read pages and pages and pages and pages of drivel.
Doing kids a favor means not sparing the rod.
I've seen the results. They show that spanking does wonders for a child.

Yes spanking is ok as long as its light
Let's see if I got this straight:
Parents fail to discipline their kids, as well as succeed using either method. The real issue is, which is the preferable method? With a little education, parents can raise kids who learn on their own, without the yelling, hitting, back talking, arguing or any lack of respect. But, who wants to put forth the effort to learn how to accomplish that? :roll:
- Public schools are not allowed corporal punishment, but it's OK for YOU to hit your kid.
- Hitting your spouse would be considered "abuse", but it's OK for YOU to hit your kid.
- Hitting your coworker or employee would be a criminal offence, but it's OK for YOU to hit your kid.
- Professional trainers DO NOT hit their animals, but it's OK for YOU to hit your kid.

It's not that. Kids make mistakes in schools, and it's only when you grow up that you can look back and say wow I was a little kid back then.
I remember back in high school (freshman or sophomore year maybe), I looked back at Jr High and Elementary school and I thought how stupid and immature I was. I looked around and I thought that I was now at a decently mature age, and that hey I was well educated. I knew what was going on in this world, and I participated in mature discussions. Fast forward two years into senior year and I looked back and I say how dumb I was.
Forward to college and I look back and ask myself how I declared a major back in senior year. Even today I can't say for certain what I want.
The thing is that you yell at kids and they only absorb so much. Education only gets so far. They don't understand everything you understand as an adult. Lecturing kids is insanely hard. I tutor kids at least twice a week (6th and 8th graders) and I feel like the lecture is a good way to teach kids in that it throws information at them, but how well do they really understand me? Not too well probably. So the thing is, beating helps keep them in line because they can't grasp a lecture at that age yet... THus a beating is necessary, but education is necessary as well...

Not spanking your kids is what's lazy. It's for parents who don't have the cojones to deal with the immediate hurt of their children and teach them that you are benefitting them in the long run. It takes real effort and dilligence to be able to make sure your kids learn something fully, even if you have to deal with the hurt of watching them in (non-damaging) pain or distress as they learn.
Today's pvssied parents are so adverse to letting anything "bad" happen to their "precious angels," that they willingly sacrifice much needed discipline just so they don't have to deal with the short-term effects (pure laziness.) They all about being their children's "friends," probably due to the fact that so many are only ~15 years older than their kids. :disgust:

I think telling your kid about masturbation will solve all of your problems.
