Touche,War. When I was a kid we'd get big time swats with a wood paddle if we were out of line at school. Today, parents would take such teachers to court. I have a 6 year old granddaughter who just started 1st grade. My daughter tells me that teachers there have the option to deny recess recreation, and keep the kids in class 6 hours, non stop. The result is that the kids who are vital growing humans with a great need to dispense energy are going into terrible frustration. The teachers counter by saying: if the kids go outside and skin their knee or worse we get sued for failing to supervise them. This is subject to law passed last year. Meanwhile the kids get obese, suffer the modern ADDS malady, get sedated and suddenly we wonder why things are all scewed up. Nothing very magical about this.
