Urgent: Is this another religious horror for children?

Question

A Christian school is seeking parents' permission for staff to strap students despite corporal punishment in schools being illegal. The school acknowledges the Education Act forbids corporal punishment, but quotes the Bible saying "we ought to serve God rather than men". Parents are given an "authorization" form which says they are aware corporal punishment at school is banned, but will permit school staff to administer it.

The policy says the strap must be given on the palm after consultation with another staff member, and in the presence of that staff member. Afterwards the child is to be spoken to or prayed with, or both.

Is this just another example of how religion is violent and is hell bent on brain-washing children?

Answer 1

No way would I sign that form as a Christian parent. My son goes to a Christian school. My criteria in selecting a school was making sure they were not going to hit him. I don't hit him at home, and no one has the right to hit him at school. A lot of people go way overboard with the "spare the rod" mentality. That is cruel and there are other ways to discipline a child.

Answer 2

It relies upon on how they're stereotyped. there is the preteen looking out approximately some thing paranormal yet even in the face of massing information isn't able to cajole all and sundry. Then there is the rebellious teenager (frequently a boy), this newborn has lots teenager angst they take no suggestion and follow no direction from all and sundry. whether it skill putting themselves, their relatives or the finished universe in mortal threat, they'll do their very own element. The son in "warfare Of The Worlds" is a great occasion. those 2 are used persistently by skill of filmmakers so i assume they're helpful. To me, they ruined many an in any different case good action picture. usually with some exceptions, paranormal movies the place teenagers are the main remarkable characters are no longer that good. a cutting-edge exception with some good newborn actors became into "enable Me In", this is sluggish shifting however the youngsters are suitable.

Answer 3

Twenty-two states allow some form of corporal punishment while twenty-eight have banned the practice. I believe that when the state gives parents children then they can dictate how to raise those children. This is the U.S.A. not Sparta.I am not for liberal physical punishment but I do believe in it. Read Doctor James Dobson's "Dare To Discipline."

Answer 4

I think a slap on the hand can hardly be considered "brain-washing".

However, if the law of the land forbids hand slapping I think the school should comply. They shouldn't risk losing their school due to a small act like this. Assuming that this school teaches children to be good citizens, I would hope that they stay open.

Answer 5

Yet another reason why I avoid Christians like the plague.

This is a fantastic reason of why the state shouldn't use tax money to support private schools.

Answer 6

Is this serious??? I can't even believe its true!! It's like the police officer who thinks that the rules apply only to everyone ELSE... but not him/herself!

Answer 7

Ahem.it's called discipline.no discipline=kids who are ill behaved and believe me ever since people started saying you can't spank your kids i've seen a lot of whiny kids who want their own way.

Answer 8

yet another item in support of home-schooling if you think your kid deserves a slap, than by all means you administer it yourself

Answer 9

As long as the parents approve, I don't really care.

Love, Jack.
