Teaching partners daughter discipline

Just the other day on the news, I saw a report about how everyone is up in arms that our schools are failing our kids. Teacher shortages, lack of budgeting, and students not being prepared for higher education, let alone the world. But has it yet dawned on you that we are failing our teachers? Things are way different now than when I was growing up. We were raised to have manners, be respectful, listen to our teachers and do the best work we could.

On one hand, you want to give your kids the world, and on another, you want them to learn responsibility, respect, and how to fend for themselves in this not-so-accommodating world. I rarely go off on social media tangents. Some of you will be downright mad after you read it. I do have those of you that support me and work with me — you know who you are and you know how immensely grateful I am for you.

Have you noticed how kids behave differently at school than at home?

As a leading advocate for the mental health and wellness of children and adolescents, Mental Health America MHA opposes corporal punishment [1] and zero tolerance policies. MHA supports individuated school disciplinary processes that take account of mental health conditions and emotional disturbances and promote the healthy mental and emotional development of our country's youth. Scientific research has concluded that corporal punishment is ineffective and detrimental to the emotional and educational needs of children.
