  • What a lot of unnecessary fuss about something completely natural! She has done nothing to deserve any form of punishment.

    The school is over-reacting and so are you. Kids of that age are naturally curious about physical differences between boys and girls: if males & females had totally different noses and went around with them covered up all the time, they'd be curious about that too, it's not a sexual thing, merely natural curiosity. At her age, all she needs to know is that boys and girls have different genitals: if she asks why, say it's so they can be mums & dads when they grow up.

    Your little girl has done nothing wrong and I don't know how you can explain the idiotic reaction of the school to her in a way she can understand. Personally I'd be looking for another school with staff who live in this century and not the 1950's. Is it a religious school, by the way?

    Oh and by the way corporal punishment is NEVER appropriate, unless of course you want to teach her that it's ok for bigger people to physically hurt smaller people and/or that it's ok for people who love you to hurt you.

    • No it's a public school. I live in Chicago and I told them this is ridiculous form of punishment. After a while I realize that was stupid of me to even think of hitting here. I didn't do it by the way. But I sat down with her and explain things and she knows that she didn't do none thing wrong. But she also knows not to do it again. I am a single mother and it's hard some times. There is a lot of crime where I live and I just want to raise here to the best of my abilities. Thank you for the honest opinion.

        • I'm sorry you're so offended by someone agreeing with you. Those "two words" you find so horrific and distressing are what people often do on the internet to indicate that they agree with a statement and couldn't have said it better themselves.

          I don't know what the fuck you're talking about up votes. Unless i have you to thank for the thumbs down on the other comment I made to the other user who I also agreed with. That's pretty fuckin petty and hilarious.

          Get your fucking head out of your arse. Jesus.

          • I wasn't offended, merely puzzled as to what you meant and why someone else (obviously more internet savvy than I am) upvoted it. Whew, what an over reaction: "horrific and distressing" - where does that come from? Settle down there and have a good rest of the day

            • As you're prone to hysteria over nothing and levelled a stupid accusations, my assumption was based on that.

    • You are always on the lookout for the religion bashing angle aren't you?
      I know you love it but give it a rest. It's not just religious nuts that abuse children.

      • Asking a question is hardly bashing anyone and of course that sort of over reaction to a child's curiosity isn't exclusive to religious nuts, but is more likely to come from them
