Lurking's OK. I don't have many answers, but i do have a lot of questions usually. That's how we learn stuff - by watching, reading and asking. It's cool to me!

I'm not going to say that yelling is "never" ok because there is no "never" or "always". But I will say I disagree with it. Yelling doesn't teach anyone anything - except maybe that yelling is OK. And where is yelling ever OK? Not in the office, not at the gas station, not at school. And most of the yelling I've witnessed is usually hurtful words. In addition to being hurtful, it's just not very effective. I mean...Yelling at people doesn't help them understand the WHY something was wrong, and it doesn't help them understand how to do whatever it is any better. Discipline IS important, but discipline isn't the same thing as punishment and it's REALLY not the same thing as yelling.
