Discussion #2

 "When offering a parenting workshop to individuals who are poor, you are challenged when you tell them that "hitting a child is never okay."  They tell you that you are crazy, and that sometimes a good spanking is the only thing that will get the child's attention.  Do they have a point?  What should you do?"**
