if your child committed a crime? Thinking of the third graders plotting to hurt the teacher.
...exacrtly do you have in mind?
"I will not raise my kid to plot to murder the teacher"
"I will not raise my kid to plot to murder the teacher"
"I will not raise my kid to plot to murder the teacher"
"I will not raise my kid to plot to murder the teacher"
"I will not raise my kid to plot to murder the teacher"
"I will not raise my kid to plot to murder the teacher"
"I will not raise my kid to plot to murder the teacher"
"I will not raise my kid to plot to murder the teacher"
"I will not raise my kid to plot to murder the teacher"
"I will not raise my kid to plot to murder the teacher"
"I will not raise my kid to plot to murder the teacher"
"I will not raise my kid to plot to murder the teacher"

...have chalk boards in jail?
I was thinking court/jail.
What kind of lesson would it teach the child if the parents are punished?
Yeah, I'd probably be in the next cell.When I was done with the kid they'd probably toss me in jail anyhow.

I'm not advocating spanking.
It's the parents fault that the kids turned out the way they did! If they would have busted their butts when they were bad, this wouldn't have happened. Kids today know how to get away with murder!
JMHO. :shrug:
If these adults can't get thier crap together enough to provide themselves proper living conditions then how in the hell do you expect them to have determination to raise thier kids right? They won't and so the cycle continues.
I agree with almost everything you say, except that the kids should be "punished." Kids should be disciplined. It feels the same to them, it's just the mindset of the parent that matters. If you punish, it's revenge. Discipline corrects behavior.I'm fairly familiar with the area that this occured in. It's been a few years since I've been down there but a good bit of the area was what you'd call "country gheto". Very poor and run down.
I believe that the parents are 99% at fault. We've been through this before and I'm sure I'll get called an upity biatch again but very few people are in these situations due to "bad luck". 90% of the time if you don't have a pot to pee in it's because you chose to or it's a result of poor choices you made. If these adults can't get thier crap together enough to provide themselves proper living conditions then how in the hell do you expect them to have determination to raise thier kids right? They won't and so the cycle continues.
I think that the children should absolutely be punished as well. As someone else said; they need to learn "cause and effect". You screw up, you pay. Teach personal responsibility early.
When I was done with the kid they'd probably toss me in jail anyhow.
Does anyone know someone who turned out terrible and had great parents??
