DAILY CALL SHEET: FEBRUARY 14, 2024


The Substitute (1996) Merc goes undercover as a high school teacher to find and punish the thugs who roughed up his ex-lover. Along the way, he decides to whip (and beat and stab and shoot) the rest of the student body and faculty into shape as well. Ah, the 1990's, the last decade where you could solve both school violence and classroom overcrowding by tossing the problem kids out of a second story window. Crank up your suspension of disbelief and enjoy the brainless fun.

TIL: While never recommending it, the Church believes that corporal punishment remains a matter of prudential judgment for parents as they are the ones who have a duty to rectify their child’s inappropriate action by imposing reasonable consequences for bad behavior. Punishment of any kind, however, must take into consideration the child’s ability to understand it as corrective, and must never undermine the child's inherent dignity as a person.

I HAVE SOME NOTES: More dubious doodlings on my daily Scripture readings.
