If they don't learn how to deal with people they don't like they will have a harder time as adults in the working world. What they don't do is see how the children respond to each teacher. I am sure that the teachers that use words and a gentle approach are the ones that teach the children the most. Not only how to behave but spending more time teaching instead of punishment.

It's just one more example I can share with my family that supports our decision to home-school our 6- and 4-year-old children. While this may be a "story" I'm certain scenarios such as this take place more often than we care to admit.

I just finished writing a note to my Aunt about home schooling the children. Because of situations like this and other values I will not compromise, our children currently learn at home and beyond. I intend to discuss corporal punishment with the school board here at some point, though, since staying quiet doesn\'t help.
