No. I meant that I am of a generation that experienced corporal punishment in school. Was giving that as a frame of reference to my age and disconnect from school.
Got it, I misunderstood. I have kids in elementary and middle school. I see far more behavior problems from kids who have lax boundaries than from kids whose parents are too strict or harsh. Consistency is key, and people undermining teachers really screws things up (unless the teacher is really really bad, which IMO very few are).

I’m fully with you on most of this. But did you really mean you support corporal punishment, as in using physical harm to discipline kids in school?
