Well, it's something to say about that.
The parents used to beat their children whenever they even breath in the wrong direction.
Then we learned it's not ok to beat your kids. So, we only spank them on the butt.
But now, when you even look angry to your kids, or you take away their allowence, they go complaining to some federal office.
I never died of getting a slap in my face, when I did something wrong, and if I came home and complained that the teacher hit me, I got another one from my mother.
Now, these days, you have to talk to them. Only talk, no yelling or punish them with something (not physicly) even if they laugh at you or don't give a damn what you say. It's really not easy anymore to control your kids as long as they are too young.
I only ask myself how this is possible; Like Üb told us before, in Sweden it's completely against the law to hit your children, but still they manage to raise them properly. But here in Belgium, the kids have no respect at all for someones work or possesions, I see that behavior every day at work. They don't show respect for people neither, and they are upportunists at every chance they get. If they can abuse a system, they do it.
I think we are gonna need that wet noodle, Barta! You are a teacher right? You see that kind of behavior also in your school? It's not already like in Dangerous Minds, but we are not far away of it anymore. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
