I don't really know where else to put this link but everyone needs to read it.It is hilarious. http://www.theonion.com/news/index.php?issue=4121&n=1

misskitty,your fears are supported by numerous studies.The children are having the same problem you mentioned,they are growing up thinking that using physical and verbal abuse is ok because it was used on them.What they don't realize is that not everybody was treated that way,which most abused...

Kids don't respond to authority like they used to.I'm only 19 and I already see that the way my friends and I dealt with authority is like unheard of with today's kids.We see authority and we know to respect it and when not to respect it.Kids today don't care and often just make the...

By federal law parents are responsible for their children until they are at least 17.I have never heard of a state passing a law like that.Is the state hoping that the pressure on the parents will force the parents to keep their children out of trouble?Did the state take into consideration that...

hypatia,that program sounds like an extreme answer to a problem.I mean what if the detention is for being 2 minutes late for a class or something else small and insignificant.I can see if the kid continues to get detention but for small things it seems like overkill.And sending the parents to...

I don't think schools should have to teach the children what is right and what is wrong,that's the job of the parents.Parents are the ones that need to sit the kids down and vigorously explain what they should do,what they shouldn't do,and how they should act according to their situation.The...

First,let me say since you put this in the social science forum I'm going to approach this from more of a psychological point of view. Second,the reasoning behind corporal punishment is that if you are physically harmed for doing something wrong you won't do it anymore.It used to be used a...

Thank you,it helps a lot.

I have to do an annotated bibliography for psychology and the professor wants it to be in APA format.I have no idea what APA format is.Can someone opoint me in the direction?

I think that happiness has nothing to do with how smart you are later in life.I was a relatively happy kid and my IQ is about 133,but I don't take tests seriously.You can be the most unpleasnt kid and grow up to be a rather smart adult.Similarly,you can have the best childhood in the world and...

I didn't make up the experiment,I only did it.

The lab didn't require that the temperature be taken of the liquid of the solid or the liquid.the only time I had to worry about the temperature was when I did the test with the microsyringe.

I didn't have to take the temperature when I took the density of the metal,so it would have nothing to do with it.

The numbers were very exact but the whole process was just so painful,for the lack a better word. Now that I look at the lab book they also want to know if any liquid other than water can be used to find the density of an unknown solid.I think you can use any liquid if you're just going to...

Actually,we had to weigh the syringe first then fill it with the water.Then we took the temperature of the same water that was in a beaker.From the temperature we figured out the density from a chart.then we took the unknown liquid in the syringe and weighed that and did all the...
