1- waste of good ammunition, 2- waste of reasonably good Electronics, 3- (now here's the part most people don't want to hear) a child is not born into this world with per set characteristics and attitudes, they learn them from the significant others in their lives, ie: parents, grandparents and lacking input from them then their peers and resource materials. Still it boils down to the simple fact that disrespectful, whining brats, learn it from their parents or the lack of the parents input. The school is not responsible , nor are the TV shows or their reading material...(Guess who controls those inputs, or is supposed to do so?)....You don't have to isolate or abuse your children to teach them respect and proper/accepted values....Hint: "Time out" ain't the route.....
