IMHO, Alice doesn’t need to be whomped on. The outlined punishments will be noxious enough for her. I’m glad she wasn’t able to get by with the bullying.BTW, here’s a (rather long) thought-provoking article I read yesterday: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/15/magazine/can-emotional-intelligence-be-taught.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
We’re talking about a spanking here, not a brutal beating.
a calm talking to never worked on me when I was a kid. It went in one ear and out the other. But a good spanking got my attention. What ever I did to deserve it, never was repeated again.
Sorry I don’t buy that carp. But then again I didn’t have any of the stuff that today’s kids have. Would today’s parents take away a kid’s cell phone and therefore texting priveleges for a month? I so very doubt it.

What she really needs is some “help” on the backside.

Alice is a fair weather friendly bully. Dill is an admiring victim. This is all so reality based.

Since when is being called a “new kid” a bad thing? You should see what these kids call each other on Facebook.
