It really does make life easier for them later in life.
When I was a kid, if we got in trouble in school. We were in double trouble when we got home. Teachers were there to TEACH, not to babysit. |
OMG!! We are on the same page!!!
When I was in grade school, the teachers all had wooded paddles and they used them too. I think it scared the he*l out of us and we all behaved. I notice that we all survived and none of us were scarred. We all turned out pretty darned good. Most of us have great work ethics, great attitudes, went on to college and became great parents.
You are correct. The teachers are there to teach, not babysit. I dont know how they do it with the kids the way they are now. I think many get frustrated and end up doing what this teacher did. It was a bad judgement call.
