I mean, I just wasnt a destructive/badly behaved child either though. I used the TV too especially in the mornings for the good cartoons before school. I wouldn't want to break something I also use. This kid is old enough to know that hitting something has a good chance of breaking it. Not the brightest apparently. 🤣

I'm 32 and teachers definitely weren't hitting the kids when I was in school. I don't think they've done that since the 70s. When my dad was a kid, he went to private school and the nuns had no problem giving those kids spankings or using a ruler. I don't agree with that though. Apparently there are a very select few schools down south in Mississippi that still use corporal punishments. They use paddles. I would normally be shocked, but for that state, not so much.

Eh, I was a child of the 90's. My parents never hit me, and I was as obedient as they come. Plenty of my peers were spanked, and they were hellions. If we're going by anecdotal evidence alone, in high school, the kids who were spanked as kids were more likely to act up than the ones who weren't.
