They can discipline them in appropriate ways that do not require physical contact between this stranger and my child and let me know how my child acted out and allow me to take any further actions I deem appropriate. My kids acted out in school a couple of times and I took care of it. Now I get comments that my kids are model students.
These "strangers" you speak of. Do you mean the teachers who spend 6+ hours a day with your kids and probably know their behavior patterns better than you? Or the parents who come home after 5pm and allow their kids to play violent video games half the evening with little to no interaction? Just curious.
