But it seems to me that you failed to offer a better alternative. If the rules (and the moral framework behind the rules) have been clearly explained to the kids, repeatedly, and violations still occur from time to time, then what do you think MD XF should be doing in terms of punishment? (When I give people constructive criticism on what they are "doing wrong," I always follow up with advice on how, specifically, they can do it better from now on!) | |

They also do time outs (jail), take things away (children), and corporal punishment (death penalty) if you really want to look at it that way. | |

If you speed in traffic or roll through a red light, you may be forced to pay hundreds of dollars as a form of punishment to not only discourage you from repeating the behavior, but also to stop you from doing it in the first place. | |

Or they will take away your children. Or they'll arrest you and incarcerate you for years. And that's to say nothing about the personal emotional consequences of immoral actions, guilt being the most obvious but not the only one. | |
