Hi Jeff, I think your book would be very good to publish. It is important because you have so much information, and it's a bit much to try to process on the web. You might compare it to other books against beating, which is really what we are talking about here when you look up the word "beating." Your book will need some serious editing for a final, hard copy publishing, from the rough draft version of each chapter that you are putting online. I really hope, however, that you hard publish it when you are done. A lot of really good books and studies against paddling are VERY scholarly, because mainly intellectuals like doctors and professors, etc. write them. These books are important because they prove the case against child beating scientifically. There is a need, however, for more books that are also easy to understand for average people. Alice Miller's book on the "Natural Child" was a great example. There are a lot of ways to write a good book. I liked yours because it really showed people's experience in schools FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE and gave a glimpse into that awful world-with a thesis nearly none of the no paddling books center on--that a lot of it is sexually driven. Your knowledge of what goes on in the minds of sexually or sadistically motivated spankers is an insight into a world that even most nospankers don't, at least publicly, talk enough about. PS: your cartoons are wicked funny. Your friend, Hal Smith |
