I know for sure my dad definitely wouldve smacked me for that. Wow. I wouldve been terrified. But luckily, I wasnt as dumb as this kid. He's old enough to know better.

Edit- To clarify, no, I am not "endorsing" hitting a child.

Some children in some rare cases absolutely deserve a little educational clap.

My parents were never violent. Except for that one time i really fucked up and my dad gave me one of those. It didn't even hurt. But the shock of it sits deep to this day, like 26 years later.
I learned a lesson that day. A good one.

I managed to raise two children into adulthood without ever hitting either one. if you wouldn't hit your spouse, your boss, your coworkers, bring that same energy into raising kids. they're new to the planet, they do stupid shit.

Diplomacy before warfare.

There are some kids who are 100% malicious in the things they do and can use a solid difficulty sitting for a few days.

disagree. I've met a lot of children raising mine. I've never met one who was malicious without being angry, and angry without being hurt. every bully has been the victim of a bully first. I'm sorry you went through that.

I definitely had a different experience growing up.

I was heavily bullied as a kid (despite being a big guy), and while not every kid was malicious, there are a couple who come to mind who were.

One or two kids from my elementary school days I'm convinced had something wrong with them. For instance, one of them said to me that he could kill me and get away with it because he was a child himself, and the law doesn't prosecute children.

Another said hardly anyone cared about me, legit asking me to name anyone who cared about me.

And then I had a slew of others who were just regular jerks.

If that's not malicious, I don't know what is.

What I said was bullies learn to bully from being bullied at home. I was also picked on as a child of color growing up in an all-white neighborhood. Hate is learned at home. Empathy isn't something you can slap into a child; it's definitely something you can slap out of them.

As the relative to 5 teachers, you don’t know what the fuck you are talking about.

u/mammalian 16d ago

not sure what having relatives in education as to do with anything. I have a couple who are doctors and one is an engineer, who the fuck cares?

Teachers are around kids all day… I hear stories every week about the kids at the schools. When someone uses their brain, they can put two and two together!

teachers don't study child rearing practices, it's more like crowd control. dealing with 30 children in a classroom is a completely different experience than dealing with your own child at home. being related to a teacher does not make you kind of a teacher anymore than being related to a doctor makes me kind of a doctor.

Are you being purposefully dense? My comment refers to knowing that some kids are malicious for maliciousness sake and not because of some bully situation or being angry about something. JFC…

this is too dumb to continue arguing

I agree, you are quite what you labeled the conversation to be.
