For an American public school? Unfortunately, probably the latter.
Pray forgive my cynicism...
Discipline a priority in American public schools? ROTFLMAO.
Seriously, though, the primary school that my sister teaches is pretty
strict (and their average test scores are like in the 90th percentile), but
they are mostly born-again right-wing Christians and most parents authorize
the school to apply corporal punishment.
Gosh, that sounds awful. High grades don't justify violence against
children, IMO. If Aaron had been at that school and the teacher had felt he
was misbehaving, he might have been beaten for handing out free software.
That last sentence is probably the dumbest thing I've read this month.
