A boy got suspended for being a bully on the bus so his father made him run to school for three days.
This is a hard one for me. Because I feel bullying is blown way up now days.

5th grade boys are gonna wrestle they're gonna fight. It's no different than puppies biting and clawing at each other or a chicken trying to figure out where it belongs in the pecking order.

True, but bus drivers have to be able to maintain order on the bus.

I didn't see how far it was that he had to run. Quickly scanned the article. I like it, if not extremely far.

Bad analogy. Why have rules in the first place?

If you listen to the whole video that I posted after, you can tell that the guy is intelligent and applies discipline with love as a parent is supposed to. It’s not reactionary but thought out.

A few years from now when your kid comes home from school crying because some big girls were bullying her see if you feel the same.

I don't have a huge problem with the discipline, but it's a little disturbing that the father is all over facebook and youtube bragging about it.

I think the video part is excessive and unnecessary but male authority in the family with constructive discipline is what we've been lacking for the last few decades.
