Grade school "whippins"

I strongly believe in corporal punishment.

My dad wouldnt even actually have to hit me. All I had to hear was "go get the belt" and I instantly vowed I would never do that again.

My brother and I got into trouble once, and I was the first to get a "paddling". My brother used the time my dad was educating me to slip a board his pants. Dad saw my brother's square butt and laughed so hard my brother didn't get a "whippin'".
 
All my 6th grade teacher had to do was get his paddle out and pop it in his hands a couple of times, we behaved immediately.
 
Kids are turning into a bunch of pansies. I'm not saying we should beat the hell out of them, but things like taking dodge ball out of school and not keeping score at athletic events set these kids up for failure. Once they get to high school and beyond, they can't handle losing and think everything is supposed to be fair and handed to them. When they get their first taste of defeat they can't handle it and the meltdown begins.

Glad to see that ***** is finally filtered out...






:wink:



And yeah taking dodgeballs out of school is stupid. Spanking doesn't tramatize you for life either... take your lumps and learn from it
 
The truly talented teachers and administrators don't need a paddle to run a good school.

Teaching kids to solve problems by smacking someone is the last thing those kids need. Think about the potential future ramifications of that in their parenting or marital relationships.

Before anyone says that it worked in this case, I can show you numerous cases where a bad school has been turned around with not a whit of violence. So why not scrub the intellectually lazy methods of discipline, and model using logical consequences for discipline, which is the way the real (adult) world works anyway?

Went to a Catholic school grades 1-12 and boy were those 90 yr. old nuns tough in those first few years.

school not so much ... but at home is where it can and should be used.

He was using other methods as well, and paddling as a last resort.

I thought it was good that he did not just paddle them, he would talk with them first and explain why they were in trouble, see if there was a deeper root cause, then paddle in a controlled, routine manner


I like that idea a lot more than cops getting called to schools when Kids do something wrong (I hear about that on the radio entirely too often around here...)

Cops get called when kids are dangerous or violent, not when Billy steals Jenny's eraser.
 
I am a BIG advocate of Dr. William Sears, who has written more than 30 parenting books. We've used many of his principles in raising our kids. Here's his take on spanking:

SPANKING

I agree to a certain extent. When I was in college I would come back to my home town and work as an associate at the middle school. MOST of the time you can get a kid to do what they need to do by being smart with what you say and how you say. BUT there are some kids that just need to get their rear whooped. Unfortunately it should be the parents that do it....but they don't. If their kids get in trouble at school, it is the teachers fault.
 
When I was in grade school, most of the teachers were women. There was one male teacher that they would call if we got out of line. He would smack us pretty good. Once or twice was all it took. When you were told to settle down you settled down.
My dad smacked me once. After that I realized if he said stop and you stopped whatever you were doing, you wouldn't get smacked.
 
I remember the "Board of Education" in Elementary school.

I remember in High School one time I was screwing around being a complete HS Jerk in the hallway, and the priniple was walking towards me (I did not see him) with a big movie reel in his hand. He slammed that movie in my gut and knocked the wind right out of me. I quit acting like a jerk and behaved (atleast for the rest of the day)
