OK school just started this week. I go to a public school in Texas.
We moved here a year ago. I am 15. They give us all these forms for our parents to sign and one is "Corporal Punishment Consent Form" I don't want my dad to sign it for obvious reasons. Last year he did because the option is ISS (In School Suspension) which is bad for my GPA. My teacher said if we don't return the form it means it's OK for them to paddle us. Last year I got paddled a few times and it's horrible. The first time the Principal paddled me and my Dad & him got in an argument and they agreed that only a woman would spank me from now on. So the assistant principal did the next two times and oh she was worse! The last time she spanked me extra. I cried and everyone found out. I was so embarrassed!!!

So...what should I do? and why on earth are Texas schools allowed to do this? it would be illegal for my Dad to do that! and we cant afford private school and I heard they do the same. Also, Mom is not here.

First of all, the punishment is for those who breaks the school regulation.

Let's handle it this way:

1. Try your best to stay out of trouble. That means, don't break any school rule.

2. Your dad should sign the paper and indicate "DO NOT AGREE". Make a copy and keep in your home.

3. Gather those parents who do not agree and protest to the school and the board of education.

I believe the school is trying to create a good and safe environment for all students. I do not believe the school is out to get as many students as they can. The school is not evil.

You have to do your part as a member of the school community to make it a good place to learn.

Move to NY! Hey, you sound smart! :) I'm turning 16 and school starts on the 5th of September, the day after my birthday haha. Well, what can you say, these schools have strict limitations and they follow it so they can discipline the children. I totally disagree about the ISS form and definitely the paddling. Although.. I never really got paddled nor did I get an suspension, I manage to keep myself clean. Don't be embarassed, for what reasons did they paddle you for? Try going to a different public school, perhaps.. Unless they do it in every school, I feel like you need to confront to your father and explain why. I would say it's absolutely RUDE to do such cruel things to you and absolutely violating to paddle you. That's harassment and harsh punishments in a public school. I understand paddling hurts, I've been paddled by my parents with a hanger and a ruler when I was young so I learnt my lesson. I guess what the public school is trying to do is to help your future. They want you to learn your lesson so you won't make it again but I still find that rude. You should argue!

the place i'm from public preparation isn't very reliable so in case you desire a reliable preparation you may attend to a private one. yet this rather relies upon, some public colleges are very reliable and a few are very undesirable, basically as some private colleges are very reliable and others very undesirable.
