A wise old gentleman retired and bought a small but comfortable house near a junior middle
school. He spent his first few weeks of his retirement in peace. Then a new school year started.
Every afternoon three young boys came down his street, kicking happily every trashcan(垃圾罐)
they came across. The crashing noise continued day after day, until finally the wise old man
decided it was time to take some action.
The next afternoon, he walked out to meet the young kids as they walked their way down the street. Stopping them, he said, “You kids are a lot of fun. I like to see you show your energy like that. I used to do the same thing when I was your age. I’ll give you each a dollar if you promise to come around every day and do your thing.” The kids were very pleased and continued to do their job on the trashcans. After a few days, the old man greeted the kids again, but this time he had a sad smile on his face. “The day before yesterday, I got a lot of money stolen,” he told them. “From now on, I’ll only be able to pay you 50 cents to kick the cans.” The noise-makers were clearly unhappy, but they did accept his offer and continued their after-school work. A week was over. The old man then went out to stop the kids again as they kicked their cans down the street. “Look,” he said. “My TV set didn’t work last week. It cost much money to have it repaired, so I’m not going to be able to give you more than 25 cents. Will that be okay?” “Just a quarter?” the biggest kid shouted. “If you think we’re going to waste our time, kicking these cans around for a quarter, you are nuts! No way, master. We quit!”

Most children don’t want their parents to go to their schools and they don’t like parent-teacher meetings. They are afraid of their parents. But sometimes they do not do what their parents tell them to do. When this happens, a parent tries to help the child to do the right thing. When this does not work, the parent usually punishes the child.
There are many things that a parent can do. One thing that parents have done is to spank (打屁股) the child. When a parent spanks a child, he will use his hand or something hard to strike the child on the bottom. The parents want to show their children that they have done something wrong.
One problem with spanking is that it teaches the child to hit someone when they do not like what the other person is doing. Another problem with spanking is that the parent is usually angry and can hit the child too hard. Sometimes parents will use spanking for everything and not try other ways to get the child to do the right thing.
Many parents are not sure of what to do instead of spanking. Some people think that spanking is okay. Some think that the law lets them do it. The courts (法院) say that parents have the right to teach their children how to behave.
Other things should be tried before a parent decides to spank a child. Taking a more child-friendly way can help as well. Giving a child more than one choice is another thing that can be tried.
