Wouldn't it have been easier to have been a good parent and raise a child that didn't talk smack to their teachers in the first place? [/ QUOTE ] I talked smack to my teachers, and was an excellent student.

A lot of people say this is a form of mental abuse. Personally, I applaud this kind of parenting. What do you all think? link [/ QUOTE ] My first thought was that you have serious psychological problems if you think this is good parenting. My second and third thoughts have been similar.

Re: THIS is how you parent.
I fail to see how. You seem to conflate mouthing off to one's instructors with being a poor student. I'm here to tell you that that isn't necessarily the case. Am I missing anything?

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, you're missing everything. The way you treat your teachers has very little to do with how smart you are, and has nothing to do with the story the OP linked to. My point is that it's much more effective to teach children how to respect other people at a young age, as soon as they learn how to talk and communicate with other people. If you just treat your kids like crap and then, surprise surprise, they turn out to treat other people like crap, it's extremely difficult to get them to behave well after they've grown up. This is the same nonsense you see on daytime talk shows every day. Children don't learn how to communicate at 14. It's too late now, and it's ridiculous to think that it's anyone's fault but the parents.

Re: THIS is how you parent.
im surprised this worked, if i was 14 i would have torn the sign to shreds and unleashed a horrid stream of profanity. and my mom was very strict and did not let me get away with anything. sometimes a kid is just not gonna do what you tell them to, no matter how your raised them when they were young.

Thats a shame really... if she would have known she was going to get so much press, she could have gotten a hell of a Bumvertising contract (mild p*ker content)

Re: THIS is how you parent.
You will, in the future, be amazed at how personality-driven kids are, and how different they come.
