I don't think it's all about discipline either, because despite the way I act on the interweb (Asshole #1 biggrin: ), I know how to handle people and respect them in "real life"...I also dislike confrontation, and try to avoid it whenever possible....And my parents never physically disciplined me past 4 years old....
I can't remember them ever doing it, anyway....
I think it's all about what the child witnesses the parents doing, if they see their father being an asshole to someone, no matter what the context, it's going to reflect on them.

+1 to you for making sense. It doesn't take much to be a lil' respectful.

I dont see the big deal, if the kid doesnt want to stand, who the fuck cares? Its his decision to make. Im used to standing all the time, but if for any reason i didnt want to, i would like to think i can make that decision w/o some fag getting in my face about his believes, his pride and/or his bullshit sense of respect. Teachers dont get respect, they need to earn it just like everyone else. Im not offended by anyone sitting or not saluting during these ceremonies, its their right to do so. Shame on that fuck for imposing himself on someone elses right to be a dick.

Disagree. It's a form of rebellion and disrespect to all who died fighting for their respective countries. Want to show signs of "free thought"?, write an essay on why you feel you shouldn't stand instead of disrupting those who are honoring their Country or simply walk out quietly. If i were in that class, chances are i would've taken objection to the kid and may have done something about it AFTER the Anthem.

its not about anyone showing signs of free thought, its about someone who didnt want to stand up for whatever reason at school. if i dont want to do something, and then my teacher yells at me for doing it, im definately not going to do what he wants me to do.
you have already jumped to the conclusion that he was being a hippy and was disrespecting the country. you were offended by him not standing up, why even waste your time caring or getting worked up on this? this person doesnt deserve getting his ass kicked, his teeth kicked in or any other kind of punishment suggested in this thread. i know how people here get all worked up and patriotic about stuff like this, but why get angry?

sorry... the smilie was to indicate that i wasn't really serious... in this situation the dumb-shit shoulda stood up and payed his respects... but, the teacher was clearly out of control... as for free thought, i don't think most organized education supports free thought, but the teachers who do always seem to be the best...
