yeah, I go to school every day.
In my AP Literature and Composition class today, I used the phrase "spare the rod, spoil the child." Some of the students weren't sure what that meant, and my teacher explained by saying that it means parents are supposed to not hit their kids, they should spoil them with love. I disagreed, saying that it actually means if you don't smack/spank/etc. your kids, they'll be spoiled.
My teacher maintained that she was right and I was wrong, then continued teaching, if it could be called that.
So I suppose the point is that I'm in an advanced placement literature course that is going to give me advanced placement in a psychiatric ward.

Please tell your teacher they need to go back to school until they are educated enough to teach.

Also I suggest you show her this, and make her tell the class the correct meaning.
Spare the rod and spoil the child
Meaning
The notion that children will only flourish if punished, physically or otherwise, for any wrongdoing.
Origin
From the Bible, Proverbs 13-24 (King James Version):
He that spareth his rod hateth his son.

further what milk wrote:
"Withhold not correction from a child: for if thou strike him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and deliver his soul from hell." (Proverbs 23:13-14)
