Actually, I am a Grandparent, but could not find the right title. Just wanted to say, I had the pleasure to attend Our Hero's day at Hambright. Students pick out a hero. They read a book, did posters, researched information on their person, and some had computer information. Adults and students went through each station, and asked questions about their Hero. They presented the information on their hero, and answered question about the Hero. They were 3rd graders, and did a fantastic job, in presenting their material verbally and answering unscripted questions. Learned a lot about different hero's. Enjoyed afternoon. Great job.

Teachers in 19 States Allowed to Physically Punish Students
As of 2014, nineteen states still allow corporal punishment – spanking and paddling the most common choices – in their public schools. However, some argue that not only are these punishments physically harmful, they also are disproportionately administered to students of color. As a result, House democrats have taken up the issue in a new bill that would ban all forms of corporal punishment nationwide.
