How do they get treated in school? So far, I haven't had any problems. My kids are popular.

If I did have one problem, it's this: I want my kid to get treated like the others by his teacher. I don't mind corporal punishment with a love stick on the hands or butt. Actually, I'm for it.

I hope my children aren't getting away with murder because their dad is a foreigner.

My son, born of 2 Canadians, is blond haired and blue eyed. We took him to a Korean daycare, and he was treated like a rock star. Everywhere we went, people wanted to touch him, hug him, play with him... He is 20 months old.

We decided that it was best for us to go home because of this. I don't want my son to have an inflated ego because of his looks. I want him to think he is a good man because of who he is and how he treats people.

We have differing opinions on corporal punishment.

Don't know how the teachers are taking it, but they're probably popular because they know all the cool cuss words ...Dad.

Better make sure they know they're NOT allowed to say them in front of teachers, women, girls, moms, GRANDMA, aunts, cousins, neighbors, clergy, store lady ...you get the picture.
