Simple learning (in the psychological sense of the word) tells us that unless a behavior is responded to in a negative way (i.e. introducing negative stimuli/removing positive stimuli), the behavior will not be diminished. Now, I'm not saying parents need to beat their kids senseless (that's on a whole other level of wrong), but the lack of punishment is becoming detrimental to our society as a whole. I know that, personally, I'm as morally-oriented as I am because I was punished for my negative behavior.
While I came across this a few days ago, I give kudos to Casey for standing up to the little rat. To be fair (ha!), there are two sides to every story, but the evidence tells no lies. It's absolutely ridiculous that both kids had to be expelled, it's nice to see that the short one got 22 days. That's about as karmic as this is going to get.

Problem is that a simple ass whipin' is 'Beating Sensless' to all these dumb assed new agers.
It was fear of consequense that kept me straight. NOT possitive re-enforcement.
And anyway, possitive re-enforcement won't work on a lazy and passive kid. Because he.she doesn't care either way. you do whatever you have to to give the child pain. Some kids don't need as much, some need more. When I was a kid I'd take an ass whipin' over grounding every time. So my parents learned early to ground me. My brother was the opposite. He'd rather be grounded for a month than get a beatin'. So be it. He got beat, I got grounded.
To me, grounding last for a the whole time. A whipin' hurt for all of 15 seconds.
(My brother was an idiot) lol
