Couldn't agree more with you. When I started kindergarten my dad told the teacher, in front of me, that 'if he does something bad, you have my permission to spank him till he's raw.' haha I never did anything bad. But parents these days, while I don't condone allowing school officials to spank your child, have effectively tied the hands of teachers and schools. Also, this whole 'no one loses' idea in sports ... such a horrible idea. These kids are being raised to think they can do no wrong and nothing is ever their fault.
haha A few years ago I saw the most awesome display of good parenting. I was driving up the corner by my house. It was around 3PM when the school was letting out and there were cars everywhere. I see these two boys holding up signs and their mother was sitting in a chair behind them. When I got close enough to read the signs I was dying laughing. 'Last Tues I threw a rock at your car and I'm really sorry' and 'I was with him and I'm really sorry too.' They were out there every day that week. Made me really happy to see a parent being a parent for once.
