"These new strategies focused on understanding and guiding rather than punishing." Great, so why isn't it working? How come kids today are more badly behaved than ever, so much so that teachers are quitting in record numbers? Reclassifying misconduct as mental illness to be treated with therapy and medication, among these "new strategies," doesn't seem to be very effective (except for therapists and pharmacists: ka-ching!). Kids are not only meaner these days, but sadder and lonelier. At least in the 1970s parents supported teachers, who even then spent more time with their kids than they did. Anyway, don't think corporal punishment is gone completely; it's legal in school in many states as long as the parents sign off on it, which many do.
Although now we gone too far and if one child has a allergy to some food rather than making THEM responsible and making them sure about what they eat we punish all other students by saying the can’t eat the food that student is allergic to. And the other students are responsible for making sure they don’t give that student anything with the forbidden food.
So many older kids smoked in the 70s and 80s. It was viewed as the coolest thing a kid could do. Once you hit 12 if you didn't smoke with your friends you were considered weird. Things have changed drastically since then and that's a good thing.
So it wasn’t the 50’s, the so many in society look back at with disdain, that were so bad for the environment but the 70’s that so many look at quite fondly.
Not too many kids are outside playing in the neighbourhood today. Social media and giving these kids cell phones are the preferred option. I grew up in the 90s and kids WANTED to go outside to ride their bikes, play hide and go seek, climb trees, play hop scotch on the black top, double dutch, what we used to call throwback tackle football, playin on the playground, etc. I have teenage nieces that got cell phones before the age of 13 and if my brothers take them to the playground or they are outside, they sometimes have their phone in their hands sitting on the stoop on tiktok or lookin at something on UA-cam or disney+. I just don’t think kids in 2024 know how to be a kid and play outside like kids because of electronics and social media that their parents give them to “babysit” them.
I grew up in the 90s and my first grade teacher would hit our hands with three thick wooden rulers taped together if we were disrespectful to her or other students in class. Hell we got a hit on our hands if we didn’t write and finger space between our words when writing which was a thing back then. I wonder if elementary school students finger space the words they write on paper in class in 2024???
Vigilant??? Try paranoid. And so many missing children stories were hundreds or over 1000 or more miles away but with so much coverage EVERYONE EVERYWHERE was panicked.
I bet, in the 1970s, middle aged folks looked back on carefree childhoods in the 20s and 30s and felt sorry for 70s kids....I was born in 1976 and my childhood seems so much more simple and carefree than childrens' experiences today, but I think it's just a human thing to be nostalgic about what has gone before and I don't think children today have a worse time than those in the 70s (or the 1920s) just a different one.
Yeah, no way in hell I can watch this. It's not a reflection on who made this video. I just know it'll angry up the blood to have more reminders of how soft this country has gotten.

That’s not so much from a softer discipline approach, but a lack of socialization due to excessive technology use. At least in my opinion.

Chicken Pox parties weren’t an alternative to vaccination, they WERE the vaccination prior to the availability of a commercial vaccine in 1995.
Mump parties also.

In Canada, smoking is on the downside, but vaping is on the rise.
Yeah, we traded freedom for the illusion of safety.... not a good thing...at least not for me
We coddle kids too much. No freedom to just go explore because they might get a boo-boo.

I was paddled in school & I didnt have any "psychological scars", I later became a deputy sheriff.
