My first thought was...the parents should be spanked if their kid severely and regularly acts up in school. I mean.....if parents were really held accountable, even publicly...that would be a wonderful thing.

Kids need to know there are boundaries in school, and good behavior will be enforced. I'm not sure teachers have enough alternatives within the current system that really get the kids' attention. Are there other methods other than corporal punishment that would underscore the point? Detention and notes home don't seem to solve the problem.
