all of them are total brats (outside of one) that have no respect for authority/adults.

Sounds like they have shitty parents. I don't see how you can determine that not spanking these kids has led to their disrespectful behavior, nor can you determine that spanking them would have helped.

One of the kids already got sent home from school in pre-k4 because the kid didn't want to follow instructions. What did the parent do? Bitch the teacher and not the kid.

Ahh, just like I thought, shitty parents.

I'm not sure why people feel that good parenting = corporal punishment, not do I have a clue why people assume that bad parenting = corporal punishment.
