Whatsa matter jill, got the DTs ?

My original statement still stands. She was not an 80 year old retired school marm. She's a conservative columnist. And this is from the 90's that has been modified and passed around with various attributions. http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/commonsense.asp

Having been a teacher myself for over 30 years I can say I agree with several of the observations in the "Obit" as they deal with the lack of parenting I see these days. It seems as if everyone wants discipline in the schools as long as it isn't their child you are disciplining. I can also see where jhill is coming from, I too have my doubts as to where the original source of this letter was. Finally, Bing Crosby is correct with the hot coffee story, this is an urban legend I have used in my journalism classes before.
