Re: Banning smacking in public places
This is my observation of disciplining children, having brought up 2 families, and watching my offsprings bring theirs up, If you say to a child 'If you do not behave certain privileges will be withdrawn', and do not follow it through you have lost. Time and again I see my daughter's tell this to their kids, then lo and behold off out to play they go, if I say anything I am told my generation is out off the loop, so now I have badly behaved grandchildren. As for my opinion on school discipline, I well remember sadistic teachers who took great pleasure in using corporal punishment, so that is not the answer. Mean what you say when you discipline a child and smacking will be unneccessary.
