Discipline and correction, I believe should be mainly in the home and from the parents. If parents can't handle the heat and let their children go, then they are no different from animals. They have children, too. But some just let them be. I marvel, at the examples of other animals correcting their children. Fascinating sight to see!
But we are not animals. As Christians, we should always put our standards at a higher level. Much is expected from us but all not in our own capacity and power, but everything through God.
I recently came upon this subject online. The learning and discipline continues through the rest of our lives. But thats they kind of God we have. He won't see us lost and abandoned.
