I often think it's unfair when somebody comments on an article with a link to another article, but here I am doing that. I wrote Spare the Rod; Spoil the Child last year after reading an NPR article on physical punishment in school in Missouri. That article complements this one, or vice versa. Neither article provides a pathway to get to where we should be, though, since that would require that we start talking about solutions to problems and stop voting for Republicans who prevent those solutions from being enacted.
