I haven't read all of mac60's posts so I dont know her stance on spanking. But what I did read in her post is that they took discipline out of schools and daycare settings. Yes its true, they did take physical punishment away as an option.

And they have gradually taken everything else away too.

I have so few "okay" options available to me as far as discipline. Redirection and explanation, that's about it. Timeout is considered abusive, its isolation. Loss of privileges hurts their.self esteem. Natural consequences teach them to be fearful. "No", "no-nonsense" faces or voices all intimidate them.

This, in combination with lax parenting and overstimulation as others have said, results in these behaviors we see day in and day out.
