Should Spanking still be allowed? At Home and School.

May 17th, 2012

Should Spanking still be allowed? At Home and School.Should Spanking still be allowed? At Home and School.

What skill did you give them for the future.

I posted Arkansas percentage below.

If you’re a parent, chances are you’ve stood at this crossroads before when trying to discipline your child.To spank or not to spank? Some people say it’s constructive, but others think it’s a form of abuse. So where do you draw the line between healthy and harmful?.

Would you support its use at your child’s school using Corporal Punishment?. I have posted a video. The video is the Schools point of view. It is Explicit and Graphic.

This will always be a touchy subject, Now where is the studies about giving our Schools, permission to use Corporal Punishment, on our children when entering our Public Schools.

All I keep hearing is how wrong it is for Parents to spank but I can say I have seen and heard what goes on in some local Schools.My opinion, there’s a difference in Spanking and Abuse from the, Schools and Parents. I believe spanking is ok. Beating out of “Anger” is not by a parent or any School.

Below is a Video from the Board of Education on School Paddling the video is “Graphic”.

Dinosaur Festival

The 21st annual Dinosaur Festival is May 26 in Nashville. The event has a dino dig, a baseball and softball tournament, and more. The festival highlights the town’s history involving a major dinosaur tracks discovery. A large find of dinosaur trackways (a path of preserved footprints) was discovered in 1983 by an archeology grad student in a mine a few miles from town. The tracks were of sauropods. The trackway, which may be the largest in the world, held between 5,000 and 10,000 assorted tracks and scientists believe the footprints may have been made as long as 100 million years ago in the early Cretaceous period. Reproductions of molds of the footprints are still at several museums in Arkansas. The original trackway is gone and only a few individual tracks were removed and preserved. The trackway is now considered a landmark discovery that influenced both the scientific study of sauropods and other dinosaur trackways.

WTH ! Washington ?!…Truth #1 Budget

April 17th, 2012

 

The series WTH “What the Hell” Washington?! Is an idea spawned from (2012 CBS Interactive Inc.  Jill Schlesinger)  I always liked her “Tell it Real” approach.  I hope to see the information, albeit small, create awareness and spawn conversation about what is being done with YOUR money- OUR Money.

Flag thumb WTH ! Washington ?!…Truth #1 Budget

Lets learn about the weight of the numbers:

$1 trillion = $1,000 billion or $1,000,000,000,000 (that’s 12 zeros)

If you spent one dollar every second, you would spend $86,400 each day, you would have spent a million dollars in 12 days.

At that same rate, it would take you 32 years to spend a billion dollars. But it would take you more than 31,000 years to spend a trillion dollars.

 

Deficit = money government takes in — money government spends
2012 US deficit = $1.33 trillion
2013 Proposed budget deficit = $901 billion
National debt = Total amount borrowed over time to fund the annual deficit
Current national debt = $15.3 trillion (or $49,030 per every man, woman and child in the US or $135,773 per taxpayer)
