LETTERS, Page 17Bad Grades and Abuse
I read with horror that some children are beaten when they
bring home a less than satisfactory report card (BEHAVIOR, May 1).
Parents should remember that problems in school often begin at
home.

Dedham, Mass.
Throughout my school days, I grew up expecting the term to end
with physical abuse. Even an A was not good enough, as there was
always something to offset it. My father's beatings never achieved
the desired results with me or my brothers. We have made
accomplishments, but the pain and anguish surface even today.
