* NO ONE* should lay a hand on my kids.

We discipline at home without spankings (tried and rejected that
method).  If there's a problem, we solve it.  Spankings don't solve
anything.  Should my children misbehave in school (I would be
surprised) I would like to hear about it long before it got to the
point where a spanking would be administered.
