I replied that I didn't realize you could anymore. She let me know that by state law she could and not even have to get my permission. I responded with "spank him and I will deal with him when I get back home".
I want to be clear that my son is not a trouble maker and a straight "A" student, it was if he was on a two day binge of acting out. After my experiences with catholic schools as a child I vowed that no one would ever lay a hand on my children. I can count on one hand how many times I have spanked my son. After the incident my son never got in trouble again at school. He said the spanking hurt, but it was because he was embarrassed about it that straightened him up.

I support you. I think letting her spank the kid was a good choice. I would of done the same. Spankings seem to do wonders in my opinion that no other punishment can meet or match. Those "Time-out boxes" for punishment are a joke. I guess spanking works because it's a combo of the pain and embaresment, mostly the embaresment.[8D]
