is it all right to punish students?

Question

i'm a school teacher i just want to know if it is all right to scold a student send him/her out of class etc?in case of repeated mistakes can i hit?

Answer 1

no hitting, that would be seen as assault

Answer 2

You should never hit no matter how much they deserve a severe beating. Sending them out is not a good idea too. Depending on the age of the child, most of them just want some attention. They see punishment as some sort of attention. Spend some time to get to know the student. Set clasroom boundaries and establish rules and regulations. When children misbehave, it's because they do not have routines laid out for them.

Misbehaviour is a symptom.... not a problem. You need to get to the root of the problem to assist this child.

Answer 3

You sound like a school butcher. No hitting or even mental games. Kids make mistakes and they repeat it. That is why they are called kids. You need sensitivity training. Look deep inside you if you are having any issues of your own and trying take it out on kids. Are you a good teacher? Do you respect yourself? Please go see a professional and tell them you want to hit kids. Pls get help soon.

Answer 4

Good question, considering all of the school shootings happening lately. I'm not sure if you're truly a school teacher (because wouldn't a real teacher know their boundaries, as far as punishment in the school system.), but I've been wondering if the recent trend of school violence has caused teachers to be afraid of their students and/or not reprimand them as often, in fear of retaliation. Maybe I should ask that as a question huh? LOL. And um, I do believe your butt would be sued if you tried to lay a hand on your students.

Answer 5

no! it's against the law. u can't hit them no matter how many mistakes and how big their mistakes were. there is a proper way to punish them. in a way that they can understand. For me, talk to them in a nice way because the more u scold them, the more they will repeat it as a revenge.

Answer 6

You may want to hit....
However my 2 older ones will probably hit back (over 200 pounds both of them and around 6 feet tall, and only one in high school, and my younger disabled child well.... you may have problems with all of us.

One thing we need in this country is a clear communication with parents and teachers. Us parents have gotten lazy and expect teachers to not only teach our children but raise them! When a teacher gets to the point they want to hit a child there is a big communication problem!

I assume you contacted the parents and they are not doing there job? Can you make the parents or one of the parents come to class with there child? I did this with my oldest one for two weeks, not because they told me I had to but because I felt if he was going to give his teacher a bad time he will have mommy right there beside him. This child straightened right up!! Of course he was quite angry with me but oh well...... Kids who know that mom will come to school and babysit them seam to feel they best not mess up!
Breath in and out, calm down and send the kid to the office.....

Answer 7

Dont do so. Try to make him understand by words, if repeated mistakes, then maybe scold him or send him out. Never hit them.
If very very mischevious, that means that he is out of control, then hit.

Answer 8

I don't hit my kids ... YOU don't hit my kids. Hitting only tells children that if someone doesn't do what you want them to ... hit them. I don't condone violence of any kind. My sons are 17 and 18 ... they don't drink, they don't party, they have exceptional manners and they respect their elders. All of this was achieved WITHOUT hitting, to get a point across.

A woman in the produce department ... of a local grocery store, made the mistake of laying her hands on my son once .. and I'll bet my last dollar, she won't make that mistake again. I got my point across to her too ... without hitting her.

Answer 10

you can scold, give him detention, send him to principals office, or request a meeting with parents, but it is against the law to hit them, you could be arrested and go to jail....hitting is wrong anyway you want to look at it.....if student is out of control, have him transferred to another class...........

Answer 11
