That judge is a little out of touch, did he stop to think maybe some kids are getting into trouble b/c they can't go home . I hope the judge did a background check on the kids living situation before telling them to go home and cut the grass or wash the windows , the kids could be living in a housing project that has no lawns . I went to school with a boy that was always getting in trouble . No one checked out his home, the boy's dad was whipping the kid with his belt. The boy was better off not going home.
Could be reason. I hope teenager can find way to talk and express bottom on their heart with true heart...
I don't understand why the parent (s) did whipping own kids without the explain. =( . Which is wrong or which is right?
For me:
I prefer early toddlers show love and discipline not too over strict... Know what is right or what is wrong? if got the wrong path, give the explain and learned from their mistake.
Whatever you do best for your children and the parents. They have own their family style under the roof.

Except for me change it to "50's-60's kid."
That boy dad was a drunk . My dad told me not to go to the boy house. And being a teenager I did not listen and went there with a g/f/ . I said something that got the boy upset and he came after me with a broom stick !
I was able to get out of his way he was filled with rages from all the beating he getting. The boy dad did not need a reason to whip his own son , he was a rotten drunk .
Parents used to hold their kids accountable for their grades in school. Now the tendency is to blame the teachers. I think the pendulum has swung too far. Parents need to examine all aspects that could be involved--kids' behavior and aptitude, curriculum, school's educational philosophy, and teacher's skill. They also need to examine their own attitudes about education, and restrict the electronics. (IMO)
OMG..u wont believe how true that is. It is one of the reasons among many that I am looking for a job to get out of teaching.

Seems like blame tends to shift toward somrone who is the least likely to react to a hostile approach. I guess kids today figured out adults, especially with laws in place prohibiting physical kinds of punishment. So who's easier to intimidate? Wonder where the blame will shift to next...
I'm not surprised about today's culture is like this to give teachers an negative. The parents think they expect the teachers to do better but is naive about their own children's behavior and other things. It's sad to see how things turn out this way.
Whether it's relative or not, the judge nailed it. His statement was just a general message to teenagers. Yes, there are some troubled teens out there that needs guidances but there are also some teens that are overly spoiled and expects the world to revolve around them. Remember, Rachel Cannning? We all got spanked as a child, we worked hard to earn what we wanted and we survived. The teens can survive by doing some hard work and it'll be benefitical for them.
