[QUOTE="scratch, post: 284178, member: 1674"] Thats the way that threads go sometimes. One thing that hasn't been mentioned in this thread is DISCIPLINE in schools. There is little or none today. When I was in school, if we misbehaved, we were carried out in the hall and the teacher or principle introduced us to the "Board of Education". We got our rear end paddled. Then it got tore up again by our parents when we got home. My wife works as a substitute teacher in the local school system. She gets cussed out by five year olds. Nothing is done. Sends kids to the office, usually they are sent back. This behavior just gets worse in the higher grades. In high school, cell phones, ipods, eating and drinking in class, wear anything, it just doesn't matter. The teachers and other staff usually let the students do anything they want, the rules and policies aren't enforced. I am so thankful my two sons are out of there. We got a letter from my youngest son's college today. He made the Dean's List his first quarter. The discipline we used at home somehow seemed to have worked. We were and still are parents first, we don't try to be their "friend". We respect each other. A lot can be said for those old "out of date" ideas, doesn't it? P.S., I thought that "Old Sparky" was the nickname for our Electric Chair down in Jackson, Georgia. I guess every state must have had one. [/QUOTE]
