Parents agree to rules that include no physical contact between male and female students before, during or after school, and no rock music for junior and senior high students. Such music promotes rebellion, alcohol and drug use and other misbehavior, according to the school.
What? How on earth are these children going to learn how the real world works if they are not allowed to talk to the opposite sex. So they are forcing these children to make friends elsewhere? Wouldn't they want children to play with other kids who are being taught the same thing? Basically, they are keeping kids away from eachother simply because they are different sexes. This seems very strange to me. Not only that, but how immature and stupid do you have to be to think that rock music promotes rebellion, alcohol and drug use? ANY music can talk about those things, and even if a kid didn't listen to music most kids in their lifetime are exposed to drugs, and it is THEIR decision alone to choose whether or not to experiment. And there are Christian rock bands. Hello!


Now, my son is VERY well behaved. He is only spanked occasionally, and most of the time we use other methods to control his behavior, such as time outs etc. Just me using my stern voice lets him know he needs to cut it out! I believe spanking excessively IS abuse. I was abused as a child, and the first time I spanked Dylan I literally cried for about three hours. It brought back such horrifying memories for me, and I would hate for my son to think of me the way I thought of my mom growing up. There ARE other ways to discipline your child.
