spank:
打(屁股等)
鞭策, 催打
(在比赛中)击败
If you're naughty, mother will spank you.
你要是调皮, 妈妈会打你屁股的。
Next time you shout I'll come up there and spank your bottom.
下次再叫,我就要过去打你屁股了。
观点一:
Spanking a kid does not teach a kid to behave. It teaches them to fear.
There are plenty of effective ways to teach a child discipline without instilling fear.
I can't imagine any truly "positive" outcome unless positive tactics (策略, 手法) and a positive environment is employed. Negative in, negative out. Positive in, positive out. It really is that simple.
观点二:
It is a family matter that certainly shouldn't be meddled (干涉, 扰乱) with. Should the government get involved in this to...this is insane and has now become a political issue???????
This amazes me...
I think not spanking is not only an uneducated way of discipline, but a parent who is avoiding discipline (惩戒, 惩罚).
Chrildren today, have no sense of discipline in public, they run around, yell and scream and have not an ounce of respect for the personal property and space of others b/c parents do not know how to parent.
You've got more kids on drugs and taking guns to school
思考:Are there other ways to discipline? 你对惩罚孩子又是什么观点呢?
