teachers and be troublemakers and do you think it did you any good? Also do you think it should be brought back and will it help all the troublemakers in school today?

Mouthing off to teachers shows total disrespect and those students should and deserve to be punished.
There are several things wrong with the public school system now; teachers do not always know more than some students (these teachers need further education/testing), students show complete disrespect for everyone/everything and parents do not know how to be involved with their children's education. Right now we have tons of children who have dropped out of school because they did not have the proper guidence before beginning school and every year they became further and further behind other students so they just drop out because they feel on one cares. These same students are our future - so what does that say about our future? Our nation can not be run by a bunch of drop outs who do not know how to do anything. We need great leaders and that all begins at home before a child goes to his/her very first day of school.

in the lower grades, ( up till grade 6) there was corperal punsihment, ( paddeling)
at 7th, it was phased out for my school.
there was more discipline problems, cause people were not afraid to do sometihng, cause "what are you gonna do about it"
I think it helped a lot.
it would be helpful,
but at this time in life, there are so many weapons in school, I would be afraid some 12 year old kid may just shoot a teacher for being spanked.,
the whole culture of taking responsiblity for your action ended allready, I think it would take more than that at this point.
( prob some parental training too)
you gotta train them before a certain age,
after they are older, and troublemakers, it won't take it out of them
it only helps it to not get into them to start with.

There was one kid in my school who was always whipped. I felt sorry for him, his parents were not the best influence on him. I don't think it helped him, he stayed just as bad through our entire time in grade school. The principal would take him out to the flag pole and whip him where everyone who was looking out a window could see him.
My husband went to Catholic highschool and used to get smacked with rulers of the nuns and the rope belts of the male teachers. He says it didn't bother him and I know it certainly didn't change him!

I`m in my late 50`s we had corporal punishment at school...the effect was only the stupid or fool hardy played around no one in the right mind wanted either the physical pain or the embarrassment of being caned or what ever punishment was being doled out...I think it should be tried in schools to day the present system isn't working so there is nothing to lose.
P.S. Good question.

I never got the paddle in school. Just seeing it hanging in the Principal's office was often enough to make you stop and think. I had friends that got it once, and that was enough for them, they pulled their heads in and kept their mouths shut.
