what do you think about corporal punishment in schools?

Answer 1

All well, and good, but I have seen discipline in the hands of unstable, ungrounded people. all man teachers, that had issues within their own private life. I have noticed women teachers, that were frustrated and mean spirited. When we can weed these out, ok, but we go against a powerfull union, to get them fired. the fact still remains, that our schools are lacking, and failing, due to the lack of classroom order, too many disruptive kids, that are given drugs as an answer to our mismanagement to the problem.

Answer 2

WhenI wasakid, (many moons ago) there was spanking. I remembergetting spanked once, well, I might have been deserving of it, I don't remember what I did, but I might have (just might, you understand) have been something of a brat. I was totally humiliated, but not hurt, spankings never had much effect on me anyway, I was just careful not to get caught the next time. Having all my friends and enemies know about it was worse than the actual punishment. I avoided everybody for days. Of course, I never told my mother, she said that if I got a spanking at school I would get a worse one at home if she found out about it. But times, they are a-changin', and I do not believe corporal punishment is appropriate.Those were the days of small schools, not the hundreds of student mega-schools we have today, and I believe the danger of misuse of corporal punishment far out weighs any good it would do. Kids are different, also. They tend to be more vindictive, and seek revenge.I believe in todays schools, the violent act of hitting a child begets violence from the child, in some form or other. Once, a child expected to be spanked when they misbehaved, and it actually did some good. But not any more.

Answer 3

Back when I was in school (during the war) people were hit regularly, and while I can't deny that it worked, it was undoubtedly the most cruel and spiteful thing that I have ever been unfortunate enough to see. It's also against ones human rights.

Teachers should be grateful to their students for providing them with a means to work. Hitting anyone, never mind a child is disrespectful and I wholeheartedly despise any human being - if you can call them that - who would do it.

I also think that the children today would turn round and smack their teacher across the face - and good on them.

Answer 4

Most schools do not have corporal punishment. Good riddance to a bad idea.

Answer 5

I disagree with corporal punishment in our school District.

Answer 6

No copral punishment should not be done in school.
I think more schools should have Saturday detention for the whole day for punishment.

Answer 7

A good idea. When I was a kid it served as a pretty effective deterrent. I don't know anyone who ever got paddled though.
