Regarding the article in the Chronicle (November 1, page 3) about the new ruling that children cannot be spanked. The meaning of spank is to smack a person on the bottom while hitting means to forcefully hit a person.
If a child isn’t disciplined the correct way they will grow into teenagers who have lack of discipline and no manners.
I don’t agree that spanking your child should be illegal. What kind of children will we see in the next generation?
