I believe that is whats wrong with children today. Teachers can't do a thing about an unruly child.Back in the day when I came along you knew the consequences and everyone behaved. It made learning an easy experience. Now days there's so much going on in the schools that the teachers lives are at steak not to mention your childs.

As a parent, I have signed a consent form for my children to be paddled if needed. I also spoke with all of my children's teachers and told them in the presence of my children that they had my permission to do what was necessary if and when my children misbehaved and if in the event that corporal punishment was needed at school they would receive more at home. I made it very clear to my children that I sent them to school to learn and not misbehave. I have never had a child to need corporal punishment, because they knew that if they chose to act up at school there were consequences and they would not be happy with the outcome. My children are grown now, one graduated 1st in her class and another one was 5th. Every teacher that ever had them always complimented on their behavior and work ethnics. I believe this came about due to them knowing what was expected of them and what the consequences would be if they acted otherwise.

I wouldn't want my child to be paddled at school. But that's only because that's my job as her parent. Spanking is a form of punishment in our home, not the only form, but definitely used without hesitation when the need arises. If a 3rd grader is behaving badly enough to warrant a paddling at school then they probably aren't receiving the appropriate discipline to nurture positive behavior and respect for rules and authority at home.

Yes, I would. They paddled when I went to school, and I never got paddled because I knew how to act! I think that has a lot to do with whats wrong with society today, kids are unpunishable. Since when do the kids decide how to run things.

Yes because he is a boy but I would want to be informed of the infraction prior to punishment and approove the paddeling. I went to sdhool in the 70's and 80's and they were paddling kids when I graduated. I think it is SOMETIMES called for and should be used as a need to only basis.

No!!! A child should learn to respect you...NOT be scared of you! That's completely ridiculous! A lot of the time anyways, the reasons for getting punished in this cruel way are not legitimate and are only a way for teachers to take out aggression on children they aren't fond of, without getting in trouble. Also, this is soooo embarassing for the child. How could you bring a poor kid up to the front of the class, and hit them with a paddle? You want your kid to like school. Personally, if this was an option where I lived, I would rather skip school than risk getting beaten by my teachers. Even though I'm a great student, it's still awfully scary. Abuse is only for lazy unfit parents who know no other parenting skills and resort to pain to get their kids to listen to them.

Not in a million years.
I don't EVER want another person touching my child like that....especially if I'm not there.
I don't know that person's motives, intent and such.
Plus: When we were younger and the kids had a choice between paddling and detention, the kids always chose paddling. Why? It's over in seconds. Detention was "worse" in their minds. So why pick the "easier" one???? Pick the one that is REALLY going to put them out!!!

I would never allow my child to go to a school where he/she or ANY OTHER CHILD was paddled.
A teacher using physical violence to keep grade 3 children in line must not be a very good teacher. As a teacher myself, I can tell you that there is NOTHING a small child can do that merits physical violence.
In my opinion, you should withdraw your child immediately from this school and send him/her to a more modern institution. Children who are taught routines and responsibility do not need corporal punishment. PERIOD!
The damage that beatings or even witnessing beatings will do to your child are far worse than any possible discipline problems.

No, it's mine and my husbands job to paddle our son. I would be very angry is someone else paddled my child. They should call me if he has done something that they feel warrants discipline such as that. Besides, there are other ways to correct children other than paddling them.

i would. i have only spanked my children 4 times in 6 years. it takes a lot for that to happen. but your kids are in school to learn, they need kept in line. kids these days believe that they are invincible because corporal punishment is forbidden. i was only spanked once in school, but i learned real quick that i never wanted spanked again. i think that at least having it as an option for punishment, the kids would be more apt to listen if there was a consequence. obviously, a school should notify you before spanking occurs. as long as it is just spanking and not a brutal beating, i see nothing wrong with it.
