JANE KELLEY was thinking about Punishment and keyed into cyberspace:
JK>MP>JK>BM> Institutionalized child abuse is what you are talking
JK>MP>JK>BM> about.  I grew up in that era Jane, as did you.  Physical
JK>MP>JK>BM> punishment was meted out at the drop of a hat for the most
JK>MP>JK>BM> innocuous of things. 
JK>MP>JK>Not where I went to school.  And by therapuetic spanking, I
JK>MP>JK>mean by parents.  This notion of spoiling the child to the
JK>MP>JK>nearest juvenile corrections institution is something that came
JK>MP>JK>along long after my children were raised, thank heaven.
JK>MP>And you have said that your daughter disagrees with you, thank
JK>heaven. 
JK>Yup. All three of them were carefully raised to be responsible for
JK>what they thought and how they acted.
JK>MP>Beating a child into submission does nothing except prove that the
JK>MP>adult is weak.
JK>You have discipline confused with child beating....the result of over
JK>zealous social workers who don't have the faintest idea at all of how
JK>the brain and body work and who don't have to pass hard science
JK>courses in order to get their degree.
I took a lot of hard science and other courses. Got A's in most of them. 
the one's I got a "B" in were the ones I felt unchallenged and did not 
work as hard.
JK>Shame on you.
Shame on you for advocating hitting children. Shame. Shame. Shame.
