This is used at the school level as well. I heard this so many times with my boy, "the parents don't do enough in the way of discipline". Their view of discipline is a time out and negotiating, with children. I had a meeting at the school once, teacher handed me a list of the "problems"? I merely remarked, I myself and most people I grew up with had done all these. Told the counseler, nothing here a good slap upside the head wouldn't cure. Happened to me and I learned not to act out anymore. She didn't understand. Thought I was a terrible person to suggest this. Our meeting was over!
When I was in 3rd grade the teacher put my head out on the window sill & closed the window(not to kill me or anything but I talked alot)
When I told my mother, she marched me to that teacher & said if I ever gave her crap again, she had permission to whack me!
It worked:-)
