I don't think that is an option today. I know that when I got caned at school, another one was sure to follow. There were several levels of discipline when I was in school. A few oral warnings by the instructor, a few warnings by the senior instructor, a few warnings by the principal, caning in the principals office followed by public caning in front of the school. Believe me, I went thru them all except for the public caning. When I went home after the caning, I was given a bigger one so I decided not to do it again.

I came from a 2 income household and so did many people I knew. Only difference is that where we were raised, parents didn't really bother with what the mindfawks blamed the bad behavior on. IOW, we weren't spared punishment because sugar was blamed, bad childhood, etc, etc.

Back then it was sugar. What a load of BS. Now it is ADHD.
ADD = "Acute Dearth of Discipline"
ADHD = "Acute Dearth of Home Discipline"
