From what you said I'm sure you have well behaved children, and I agree a teacher should not spank them if they behave like yours. But my question is what is a teacher to do with children that do not respect them or the other children. It appears that there are a lot of parents that have not taught their children to respect others. So my question to you is how is a teacher teach respect if they had not recieved it at home. It may be the parents job, if they didn't who will?
