There is a side of just plain parenting. I think too many parents are just too dismissive of bad behavior, because of the kid being so smart. Bad behavior is bad behavior.

As a parent that was brought in the Bill Cosby age of spanking. If you remember listening to his records, you get this.

Too many parents are too permissive and allow for hitting, tantrums and whatnot. A kid is not allowed to act this way. And any kid will if allowed.

And then they stab the teacher...
