Spanking...from a TEACHER!!! |
Although I have NEVER and would never use corporal punishment, I do work for a school system that allows it, it is becomming more and more discouraged with each year. Should you choose to use this form of punishment there are legal procedures that must be followed. This man made a serious of horrible mistakes. This man's first mistake was making the comment, "You know, you're not too big for me to put over my knee and spank." Then, he should have not put is hands on her. Once the scuffle started, I am sure the girl felt threatened or even affraid. I would never restrain a student unless someone was in danger. |

I bet you are right. Under no circumstances should a teacher touch a child's bottom. Hopefully, he just let her attitude get the best of him and acted without thinking and nothing more. |
A most serious lapse in judgement that he will probably regret for a long, long time. I understand frustration but that comment was unprofessional and somewhat creepy. |
Pretty poor judgement, and it should never ave happened. However the girl did need to be disciplined but she should have been sent to the principal. it sounds to me like she was deliberately being disrespectful. There is just way too much disrespect anymore, to parents, teachers, police officers.......... JMO but I think a little more spanking needs to be done at home. |

I believe that alot of kids now-a-days are just plain out of control. My mom retired from teaching in 1977 because she could and also said there was no way to discipline the students anymore.Seems the parents just go ape-sh*t if the school said that their darling is acting disrespectful and like a monster. I do believe that spanking never hurt a child as long as it was for a good reason and isnt done in violence or out of anger/rage. |
I used to be a believer in spare the rod, spoil the child. However...five children later and all of them grown and having families of their own (be it skin or fur:rolleyes:), I don't really follow that ideology anymore. My lil' :aimeeyorkgirls brought me to this realization. They can be so similar in childlike ways (naughty ones specifically) that are deserving of a spanking but, would I spank my dog? No way! I instead properly trained my dogs to behave. So, maybe as parents we should start wearing a little fanny pack filled with "training treats" (human grade:rolleyes:) and start training our kids the right way! :D But, seriously...I think the teacher overstepped his boundaries as an authority figure and will probably pay the price for that misstep. |

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. |

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. |

Some people DO use food to reward their children, but it tends to make children overweight. If a spanking at the age of 2, makes them respectul when they are older, it is well worth it. |

You could not pay me enough to be a teacher. I'm sure I would beat some of those kids. Personally I believe it was easier to grow up and do the right thing when all authority figures were on the same page. So many kids now dont trust anyone because every where they turn there is a new set of rules. My parents rasied 6 kids and we all grew up to be productive citizens. I, was a single working mother of 6 kids, with an absentee father, and they are all working, going to school and raising families. And none of us are in therapy from being spanked. |
I'm not a big believer in spankings. I grew up in Alabama where the teachers would paddle you over anything. Seriously, I do not think I learned any more or better there ~ but it was way more frightening. There were still fights, you name it. Police called to tame down riots . . .paddling did not stop any of that. Did I swat my son's behind a time or two when he was a toddler? Yes, but it was more out of my anger than beneficial to him, I believe. At any rate, it was a rare occurrence. No matter how disrespectful this girl was being - a male teacher cannot, in this day and age, make those kind of comments and have a hand on her bottom. Which I seriously hope he did not. It sounds like he had a temper tantrum of his own. My father taught school; he was a retired military officer and had no problem keeping order in his classroom -WITHOUT the use of a paddle. |

I choose not to paddle because there is so much risk involved now. Some parents seem to be just waiting to run us through the ringer over anything. Poor parenting is so common these days it is scary. |
I live in a district that allows corporal punishment. I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, I hate the thought of someone paddling my kids. On the other, I've been in the classrooms. The fact that it isn't used everyday shows some remarkable restraint on the part of the teachers, IMO. I just don't remember EVER being allowed to behave in school the way some of these kids do. |
