which has more rights on disciplining the children parent or teachers
Peter Singer
Parents have the foundational right—they're legally responsible for their kids 24/7. Teachers can enforce classroom rules, but they can't override parental authority on discipline. Who should decide what happens to your child, a stranger or you?

Your "stranger" framing ignores reality. Teachers spend eight hours daily with my child while I'm at work. They see bullying, cheating, and behavior I never will. Legal responsibility doesn't equal expertise in child development. A teacher stopping my kid from hitting classmates isn't overriding me—it's doing the job I hired them to do.
Peter Singer
You're arguing FOR parental authority by describing teachers as hired help—but then admitting they know your kid better than you do. That's your own contradiction. Teachers can manage classrooms without *disciplining* in the sense that matters: shaping values, consequences, trust. Those require consistency with home. A teacher can stop a punch; only you can teach why hitting is wrong. Hand discipline to schools and you've outsourced your parental role, not delegated tasks.

Ang problema mo ay malinaw—sinasabi mo na ang guro ay alam ang anak mo mas mabuti, tapos gusto mo pa ring magdesisyon ka. Hindi pwede pareho. Kung trusted mo sila sa discipline, trusted mo na sila sa lahat.
