It really has nothing to do with bringing paddling back into school.  If more parents spanked, grounded, time out, whatever on a more consistent basis, then we wouldn't have as many behavior problems coming to school.

On that I will agree with you 100% for sure.

If parents were doing their job, like actually making breakfast and lunch for their own kids instead of asking the taxpayers to pay the bill for their kid's food, that might actually be a start. The more we do for their kids, the more parents don't have to. It is not teaching them a damn thing! Then, the parents would make sure the kids understood and got their homework done and got to bed at a decent hour.

I memorized Dr. Spock for my own kids simply because he was what was relevant then, and my kids were great! I never found I had to spank them. Usually my look would make them mind, or a little psychology. You have to be one step ahead of kids, and for some parents, who turn their babies over to a sitter at 6 weeks old, that is just too much.

You sound like one fine teacher!

And a sensible human being!

Thanks Bo!

I found this tid bit of information interesting.  My Superintendent sends out a news letter to parents on a quarterly basis.  In this latest version, he discusses our district's budget and there is a very helpful pie graph included. 

62% of our budget comes from the state.
26% comes from county appropriations.
6% comes from Federal
6% come from other resources

I don't think 6% of a budget would be that influencial to make or break an entire system, especially one the size of mine.  It would certainly hurt not to have it, but I don't think it is the reason education went to hell in a hand basket.

It isn't the amount of money the school system gets but rather the rules and restrictions which accompany the money.
