And interestingly, societies in which children routinely pay parking tickets are rare.

There are different purposes to different activities. Teaching kids how to learn, for instance, anticipates a different outcome than chastising people for antisocial parking.

Or do you believe yelling at sick children until they get healthy is the proper approach?

Let me put it this way: if someone has a wound in the foot, the solution is not to rub their neck with aloe vera.
