What a refreshing concept! Imagine parents taking responsibility for the mis-deeds of their offspring. The last time I remember anything like that was way back in Kuser School in the 1940's when "Tommy" Glover was "busted" by Miss Anna Lacy for being "rude and impudent." When Mom Glover was apprised of my behavior by Kuser Principal, Miss Emily Reynolds, Mom gave her permission to mete out whatever disciplinary action she deemed appropriate. At the same time she assured Miss Reynolds that "Tommy" would be punished very severely...and he was. No 25 cent allowance and no radio programs for 2 weeks. Talk about capital punishment!
