Kindergarteners behave more like grown ups than this.

As a parent, I’m not a fan of corporal punishment…but goddamn, this generation is really demonstrating that some people should have been smacked around when they were kids.

It's the inevitable outcome of raising a generation (or two) on the idea that saying "no" to their every whim or putting their little asses in check--don't even have to hit them, just be the fucking adult in the room--when they act out is somehow oppressing their ability to find themselves.

I agree 100 percent with you. My 11 yo was taught from a young age that he didn’t make the rules in my house and that he wasn’t in charge. He routinely gets praise from adults on how well behaved and mature he seems for his age.

That doesn’t mean he doesn’t get to be a kid and play and have fun. He just knows how he’s expected to behave and he does it.

I’ve seen the other side of it up close. Buddy of mine has a 9yo step daughter who is wild, has the maturity level of a 5yo and whose mother lets her do whatever she wants. The mom refers to well behaved kids as “robots”. The 9yo runs roughshod over the other kids in the family and acts like she runs the household. Because, effectively, she does.

It's the consequence of parents who don't understand how to effectively discipline beyond corporal punishment simply dropping the ball and not having any discipline at all.

I'm also not a fan of corporal punishment, I believe there's limited applications where it's effective but most parents who use it do so as a pardon the pun, blunt instrument rather than a precision tool. You run the risk of simply teaching the lesson that you obey because if you don't you'll get hurt, which fair enough is not totally off base but what happens when the child is bigger and stronger than the parents and they haven't matured?

Rather I think it's far more effective if you simply have clear simple consequences for misbehavior and the children know it. Then simply giving a warning is enough to stop any negative behavior.

I don't know what a BDS Referendum is, or what their university is meant to do about freeing Palestine, or how the two are related... But I suspect, if you sat any one of them down and said: "We are acquiescing to your every demand. How can our BDS Referendum help free Palestine? We'll get right on it." they wouldn't know what to do.

This is what happens when kids are never told no, nor to take care of things by themselves.
