Now you know why I'm glad I never got my teacher certifications.  I  
still believe in "Spare the rod, spoil the child."  I would have been  
in jail for striking a child in today's educational environment.

To make this basset-related, if this would have happened to Daisy  
(ATB), she would have turned on the kid and bit 'em.  Of course, this  
would have had further legal problems.
