Tuesday was the first day of school for us. I home school my children and I always start the day after Labor Day. Just seems to be the first official day of fall, in my mind at least.
I keep thinking that when it comes to our education system and schools that are kids are safe from the world. I am thinking that isn't the case. Especially when I hear stories like this one.

I have heard some interesting punishments from parents who are trying to get through to their kids. Some parents make their kids stand on a busy intersection holding a sign saying what they did wrong. Others, make their kids do manual labor. However, in a society where spanking doesn't occur much anymore, this Colorado mother thought she would try something different.
