Reply To: Medicating vs Spanking

huju >> My kid got a scrape on the knee

I am slow today, is this in response to the kid who went a class up? so, you are saying if a kid is capable of going a class UP (not to another school), it would have been fine to keep him a year back (i.e. 2 years behind his abilities?).

A case similar to your would be when our wonderful pediatrician gave antibiotics for a baby because “it is impossible to watch that eye all the time to determine when you would need it urgently”. At the next visit, he looked smartly and said “see, how well it worked!” but lost the smile when my wife gave him the antibiotic back unopen.
