I think discipline is best left up to the parents and while they may have issues concerning their behavior at school, it's still the parental responsibility for discipline. When I was in school it was a customary thing to get paddled in the principle's office, but more politically correct times have changed those ways. It's inappropriate in my belief to have corporal punishment in schools still. There are far better avenues of discipline that schools can use to handle problematic and disruptive children if the parents are seemingly absent from their child's discipline. I've heard of schools going so far as to expel problem children who's parents were not involved with correcting disruptive behavior.
