I was subbing on yesterday and I was covering one period for a teacher that had been called out to the library. I was walking around in an attempt not to be bored. I came across a poster with grammer symbols and I just happen to come across a familiar symbol [...]. I said to myself, "hmmmm". I copied the word "ellipsis" and its explanation: This punctuation mark is also called a suspension point, points of ellipsis, periods of ellipsis, or colloquially, dot-dot-dot. An ellipsis is sometimes used to indicate a pause in speech, an unfinished thought or, at the end of a sentence, a trailing off into silence. I have adopted a new saying with my no sugar rule called "dot dot dot"! I use it when I don't want to hurt you with information that may seem harsh or whether you are asking me something that I may not be able to share because of confidentiality. This is my saying and I didn't even know it was destined to be mine, take notice to my blog name"I Wonder..."! Its in me and it was something I didn't steal from anyone's personality!
I am happy that I can open my door to friends and family that are in need of a place to stay. I don't have much room, but out of the kindness of my heart I want to help those that need help. In the dreaded event that I need a place to stay, I would hope that one of my family members or friends would take me in also. I keep in mind the "it is more of a blessing to give than to receive" concept.
I had a conversation about "beatins" in child rearing, and I asked my study hall about this and I was surprised that some black kids said they don't get beatings and more of the white kids said they do get beat! Is the balance shifting? The white ones seemed to be more polite and respectful and the black ones were loud and rambunctious. When did this shift occur? Why and how did it occur? Why are more and more black families not beatin' their children?
I have a view and opinion about many problems that this country faces. I think it all is the parents fault. Instead of parents being parents they are trying to be their friend. Instead of parents providing structure they allow the children to run all over them! Discipline is not applies soon enough to enforce the parents authority. Choice is given to kids way to early and freedom is no longer a luxury. What is your opinion?

Beat em! I got beat....and I turned out alright. Kids have way too much power. parents gotta take the power back
You didn't know about ellipsis points before...? Hmmmmmmm I use them frequently. Imma have to work on you lol.
~Damnit!
Beat the damn kids. Beat them with brooms, mobs, tree branches, telephones, belts, whatever you got close. Parents don't know how to be parents so they choose not to do anything, let kids raise themselves.
If you spare the rod, you spoil the child, but if you fuck that lil brat up, then you will go to jail! hmmm I say don't have kids!
I am a true believer in spanking children. I promise you, it won't hurt them. I am doing "A" okay, and I am going to tell you my mother did not play. Kids in this generation have lost respect for their parents and people older them because of lack of discipline. Parents want to be friends with their children. Where in the heck did that come from? Parents are afraid of their children now days? Where in the heck did that come from? This topic annoys me because this generation is very lost and we have to help them along and if spanking will get them in order, let's do it!
Thanks for dropping by my spot. Hit me up tomorrow. It will be an interesting topic.

Beat them kids like Ike Turner (may he rest in peace lol).
I believe that children should be disciplined. Now as a parent it is up to you in which way you rear your child. but if I had kids spanking would be in order.
@ Damnit: I knew what they were and how they were used; I didn't know the proper name for them...
Do you think spanking is mandatory? There are some that believe that it is a form of discipline used when all other forms of discipline have been exhausted. I believe in that its mandatory but as a last resort...
I do that a lot while writing work.
beat em now cause society is
going to beat em,so get them used
to it now ....cause street beatings
aint cute....manchild
It's funny that there are laws and actions in place that attempt you shy away from whipping your children. The idea is to put "Johnny" on timeout. We have seen oh so many times, when Johnny grows up he calls his mom bitches and all sorts of nonsense. To this day I remember an ass-whipping where i grabbed my moms hand and was on the floor in the closet and she stated to me that if I ever touched her during discipline she would stomp my brains into the ground. This day I would not touch her and I respect her for life.
By all means bust that ass, or the cops will!
my first time here and i like it! :-)
i teach 1st grade and some of my students that get spanked on the regular are also the ones that act a plum fool in class. but, they are also the ones that have very few boundaries set for them at home.
i sometimes get the feeling that spankings are the default punishment. "if they won't act right---beat 'em until they won't even think about acting up!" and yeah, that is what some kids need to get right. but, you know, for others you have to use other tactics. kids def. need discipline, but i'm just not convinced that beating them is the cure all.
oh, and i love ellipsis. i had to restrain myself from using them in this post. :-)
I believe a young child requires discipline from others in order to learn self discipline. The word "beating" makes me think of the show Good Times and Pennny's mom.
@dapper D: your mom used to put u in the closet???? and beat you too?
swatting a two year old with an open hand on the ass who is wearing a 2 inch thick diaper is not a "beating".
using anything other than an open palm, such as a broom or a belt or a wooden spoon, is an assault and battery with a deadly weapon.
all you really teach the child by hitting them is a behavioral response to a loss of control over a given situation - react with an act of violence against another human. don;t be surprised when they emulate your lame ass example.
dot...dot...dot?
I know Im later, sue me...
I only got a beating out of stupidity. She would yell and punish me for everything else. She knew taken the tv away from me was get me! I kinda miss being disciplined... ok im over it now. lol.
