I guess that does sound opposing, but if I hand out corporal punishment at home, I would want the school to have my authority to hand it out there also. The government has said they don't want it, so lots of people automatically think that they are right. They can show you studies that say it isn't good for raising kids, and my point of view can be "proven" with other studies.
IndyDad, if that is what you saw, that is what you saw. You see what I am saying. You can see that there could be incidents that look like one thing, but unless all the facts are known, the way we feel about it could change.
Like I said, I think you have taken care of the situation by yelling at him, and the situation probably won't happen again because that kid won't wrestle much longer.
