Should kids be punished in school?

Got in a big debate in class about this. Should teachers be able to hit ur child? I dont buy that the 8th ademendment covers this but we shall see.. debate on

i think it should be allowed. we need to take the schools back.. learning has become a disruptive thing with kids just doing what they want

Come to the dirty south....some in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama i kno for sure still do it but to pin point those schools by name is another story....in Oklahoma, there arent any schools that I kno of that use that type of discipline east of Oklahoma City....west of OKC is where all the sh*t kickers are...even tho there are sh*t kickin towns north and east of OKC, its still somewhat civilized....you can literally throw a dart at a map of Arkansas and about 80% of the time, you've probably just pointed out a place that practices such discipline....

...newayz, for my simple opinion, i dont think they should be allowed to exercise a physical form of discipline...

it has to due with cruel and unusual punishment.. i havent seen any applications that says it doesnt deal with the school system. if it doesnt fall under this then what law is it breaking?

yYes I know it has to deal with corporal punishment.. but i also thought that it delt with school punishment as far as the paddle and all those other devices were concerned

i understand that.. i guess i need to come up with a better way of stating it

my daughter is scared of me, not to the fact that ill hit her, just she knows she cant take advantage of me like she can her mother. its because i showed her what she can and cant do. if she does something wrong and starts crying, i let her cry. doesnt bother me a bit. at her mothers house its a completely differant story. she does everything bad over there. and when she gets in trouble she starts crying. and they give her what she wants. i have only spanked my daughter once, and it wasnt hard, just enough to surprise her.

on the school note, if someone else lays a hand on my child, ill be laying a hand on them. she gets in trouble. let me know, it wont happen again. i dont believe they should hit. didnt help me, my music teacher used to run her thumb nuckle up my spine everyday. i wouldnt stop talking in class, they told my mom. i never talked in class again.

i think that if its used.. use it only in certain situations.. but sometimes the threat is enough to stop kids

oh if my daughter is going after someone with a weapon, beat the shit out of her, she would deserve it, but i mean, they used to smack kids with a ruler for talking in class, ive seen it

when i was in elementary school we had a teacher who'd use a chalkboard eraser to keep students awake.

it was effective, and had no physical effects - it just damaged pride. this nun also had an amazing pitching arm, and managed to have it smack perfectly on the soft side of the eraser hard enough to have the chalk puff off it in a cloud.

the parents allowed it, because they knew this teacher knew what she was doing.

now, if she were to resort to the "old school" methods with rulers and such, they'd have objected.

my thought: if my kid's acting up in school, tell me. punish the kid with something that'll embarrass him...and tell me about it. i can guarantee said kid won't do it again, particularly if his father finds out. Mike and i have discussed childrearing, and we share a similar view on how we'd go about punishments and rewards...swats on the butt are a good thing as long as they're in moderation, and nothing more than a swat...and no one but Mike and I would be allowed to swat the kid.

we'd also keep it within the bounds of our home...where disciplining ones child should start.

My view on it.

I'd be damned if someone lays a hand on my kid besides me. You have to start showing them about respect and manners at a young age. If the parents do a good job then there shouldn't be an issue. I've seen kids who are raised in a household where the parents show them right from wrong and the kid is very well behaved. I also know another two kids who do what they want even after they get told not to do it. They're the demon's children, IMO. lol.

Also, lets say they were to put back the "Old School" type of punishment back in schools. Do you honestly think this would work in the ghettos? Think about it. The way kids are these days, either they'll come to school strapped or their parents will show up ready to kick someone's ass.

When I was in TaeKwonDo, they had this new instructor who liked to discipline the students. Well apparently the korean kids got it worse cause their parents felt that if they misbehaved, the instructor had the right to do what he wanted. Well one day he made us all get on all 4 to do some type of move but one korean kid was acting up. well homeboy took the bamboo stick and hit that kid so hard in the ass that he went flying!! He hit him so hard that he bled a little bit. And the kids parents were okay with that shit! They NEVER laid a hand on me or any of the other american kids unless the parents said it was okay. but that was the first time that new instructor took it mad hard on someone.

So all in all, I don't think its a good idea and nor do I think it should be put back into the school system. Its just asking for problems for the teacher themselves and the school system.

Not tryin to tell you how to exercise your role as a father...but....if your daughter feels somewhat "scared" of you now, she'll probably end up with-holding things from you in the future or maybe even lower both of your social relationships, and possibly to the point where she may feel annoyed of something as small as your presence...newayz, just shedding a little criticism on this....once again, please dont take offense to it...

yeah what e said, she doesnt run or cower from me, shes perfectly fine, but if she thinks about doing something wrong, she always looks at me first before trying it, then if i say no, she says ok and goes about her business doing something else. shes 3 yrs old, and always says please and thank you. and asks before she does anything, most times she knows im going to say yes, she also understand theres times that certian things shouldnt be done.

she knows im not going to give into her if shes doing something shes not supposed to, unlike at her mothers house she goes into drama queen and gets anything

I remember when a teacher of mine back in 3rd grade pushed my desk over on to me because I did not organize its contents correctly. One day I got like 6 other students to help me push over her giant desk and vandalize the shit out of it So I guess what I am trying to say is go ahead and punish kids but your going to get yours in the end, kids don't stay kids forever. I actually went back to one of my grade schools as an adult to find a teacher that used to hit me with a ruler. Lucky for her she didn't work there anymore because I was going to give her the scare of her life. I'm all for punishment if it is the last resort and the kid has not responded well in any other way but if you go right out of the gate swinging then you deserve to get your ass kicked. Thats my 2 cents

how old are you? 12?

Yeah, I'm 12 years old

based on that statement, you are.

who in their right mind would grow to physical adulthood and go back to their ELEMENTARY SCHOOL to pick on a teacher? that's REAL mature, buddy...grow up.
