I like to comment on this subject, first of all I am a parent of two wonderful college age children. I have worked as a paraprofessional for the board of ed in elementary and middle schools. In the northeastern part of the country what your principal is doing is totaly out of line. No child should be paddled, phycially that is against the law.If this was in NYC he would be brought up on charges. Secondly teachers do have do watch what they say today for it is considered corperate punishment. I do believe in punishing children < not phycially> if they are wrong and that punishiment should be reinforced at home, but your principle is way out of line here. Your son is a mere child of 10 yrs.old and he apoligized and was doing punishment for it. ENOUGH.. Don't you have a board of directors or someone above your principle whom you can speak to.Don't let anyone hit your child or children, no one has that right. |
