You said, “people in concentration camps and POW camps during WWII” Are you joking? That sounds like a certain “Rev.” to me. Bob, you are better than that!
You said, “Schools that use CP are an oppressive regime. Instead of machine guns and guard dogs they carry a paddle. It is still rule by threat of violence either way. It is a dictatorship using fear and intimidation to maintain order.”
Come on, . Would you want your child subjected to the tender mercies of the school playground bully? A “talking to” does not work well in that case. As teachers and adults, we ARE authority figures and within moderation, use c.p. (I think our “kids” have a better understanding of actions and consequences than you do.
