“I think when we talk about corporal punishment, and we have to think about our own children, and we are rather reluctant, it seems to me, to have other people administering punishment to our own children, because we are reluctant, it puts a special obligation on us to maintain order and to send children out from our homes who accept the idea of discipline. So I would not be for corporal punishment in the school, but I would be for very strong discipline at home so we don't place an unfair burden on our teachers.” PeopleThinkingChildrenIdeasHomeSeemsWould BeSchoolOrderStrongAcceptingTeacherSpecialDisciplineBurdenPunishmentObligationVery StrongUnfairReluctantCorporal Punishment Author:John F.

“Margaret Mead was both a student of civilization and an exemplar of it. To a public of millions, she brought the central insight of cultural anthropology: that varying cultural patterns express an underlying human unity. She mastered her discipline, but she also transcended it. Intrepid, independent, plain spoken, fearless, she remains a model for the young and a teacher from whom all may learn.” HumansMayYoungMillionsTeacherStudentsDisciplineCivilizationModelsIndependentRemainsUnityPatternsInsightFearlessAnthropologyMead Author:Margaret Mead

“Daily contact with some teachers is itself all-sided ethical education for the child without a spoken precept. Here, too, the real advantage of male over female teachers,especially for boys, is seen in their superior physical strength,which often, if highly estimated, gives real dignity and commands real respect, and especially in the unquestionably greater uniformity of their moods and their discipline.” IfsGivingChildrenRealBoysGreaterTeacherDisciplineAdvantageFemaleDignityMalesMoodSuperiorsCommandContactEthicalUniformityPhysical Strength Author:G.
