I see it any day in the Silicon Valley. Nine - 11 year-olds hide under

hardly say anything. Give me a child that grow wild and enjoy life and
laugh and happy anytime. Show him what is right, what is wrong, and
what is the law. No disciplinary is necessary.


I can only cite my own experience and that of the people I know. Its
middle class and none of us were subject to anywhere close to the
conditions you described. I won't defend the practice. I can only
say that we look back to those days as hilarious. My generation
raised our kids in the best of Dr. Spock's book, because we genuinely
love our kids too much for them to misbehave on anything. I had a
sister in law who, exasperated from having an overspoilt 5 year old
daughter, tried the gms threat and swished it. The daughter was
fascinated with the sound and immediately asked "Huh, what's making
that sound?" That cracked up sis-in-law. That niece is now a MD.

Back to Helen's remark. Chinese don't need guns in their homes.
