I taught for many years in Catholic schools and discipline certainly was questioned by Parents. In fact, discipline was seldom meted out before informing or meeting with Parents. There was no corporal punishment and few wxpulsions but expectations were high and students who were disruptive were dealt with and reminded that they could not deprive others of a respectful environment in which to learn. My own child was subjected to verbal abuse in Public schools, he was bullied, robbed, beaten and had many extorted from him. No disciplinary action was ever taken. He is now in Catholic School ...perhaps the same things will happen but they will not go unchallenged.
