Spank him!

Suspended For No Spanking

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - A six-year-old boy has been suspended from a Christian school in Illinois after his mother refused to spank him.

That's according to the mother. Michelle Fallaw-Gabrielson says her son had been piling up disciplinary notes for such offenses as talking out of turn, chewing gum, and bringing toys to school.

She says she knew he was a disciplinary problem, but she never anticipated what occurred on Wednesday. She says when she arrived at Schaumburg Christian School to pick the boy up, an assistant administrator ordered her to spank him. When she refused, the official said her son was suspended.

The next day, the mother withdrew the first-grader from the school

What do you think of that!? I know that any school that "ordered" me to do *anything* would get an earful. Just where do schools get off thinking that they can tell parents to spank their kids. Now - I haven't spanked in a long time - but both my kids have been spanked before. However, I woudn't think of spanking them for bringing toys to school or talking out of turn. I say that the guy that ordered the Mom to spank should be spanked himself. Or maybe he'd like that.

How 'bout you? Your child's school ever "order" you to do something?
