I wouldn't say they were "cracked up" to be anything other than shite ?

Where I was a child, when I was a child, corporal punishment of children by parents, teachers and indeed other adults was considered good for them. I am of the opinion that the sooner children are taught to behave in public and that they cannot have what they want, when they want it, the sooner they will be prepared for the realities of life.

Inflicting violence on another human being to get them to do what you want is definitely not what it's "cracked up to be".

Would you care to clarify that this apparently unparliamentary remark was not intended as a reference to forum members whose opinions you do not share, and who you think should therefore be denied the free speech usually prevalent on this forum?

You mean the way an old woman in my local Tesco was knocked off her feet by unruly school children in their rush for Danish pastrys?

Still, just high spirits, eh?

No need for that.

You said that teaching children about the "realities of life" should involve inflicting pain on them. This I find disgusting. That's all.
