Anyone see this?

Makes sense to me..note they only had to actually paddle ONE kid! I think I would feel a little weird about letting someone else paddle my child..but I think that the benefit of a calmer school would outwiegh my discomfort.


What do you think? paddle or not

I had to put up with it, what makes the latest crop of little bastards think their too good for it.

I wouldn't want someone spanking my child, but I'd be mortified if I raised a child that misbehaved in school anyways.

 

[vraiblonde]

Depends on what my kid did. If he got smacked for whispering with his neighbor, I'd be pissed. If he got smacked for threatening other students or giving his teacher crap, I'd smack him again when he got home.

NO! I would kill somebody if they touched my child. That is my responsibility to punish them. If kids are raised correctly, they wouldn't need a paddle anyway.

 

[Bustem' Down]

Absolutely, and they need to bring back dress codes also.

 

[blacklabman]

Actually, I prefer capital punishment.

The schools in our county in FL used paddling in ES & MS. There was a strict procedure for it. The paddle hung in the Principal's office. They were the ones who administered the paddling.

There was a list of the infractions which would warrant a paddling and it was not used as a first resort. A parent was allowed to opt out of the paddling, but I think you had to put it in writing that you opted out. I never did. I figured if my kids did that which warranted the paddle - then let the paddling commence! Neither of my children ever got paddled.

They had fewer problems in the schools. Not perfect, but it was definitely a deterrent.

That's the problem. Many parents are not taking responsibility and therefore their kids just wreak havoc all day long.

I agree! Cull the herd!

Effective corporal punishment is 99% psychological. If a kid thinks they will get beat, they don't act out.

I haven't spanked my kids in years, but they still know the look that tells them it's coming, and they straighten up immediately.

I wish.. Maybe when my son was younger all it took was a look but those days are gone...

You are so right. Notice in the article they only paddled one child. It is embarrassment and fear..not the paddling itself.

If that's true why would anyone ever have to spank more than once?

 

[doubtfull24]

I agree... Sort of. I have spanked my son on his butt if he has done something really wrong. However I really dont feel like it does any good. I remember my dad would spank my butt and say this hurts me more than it hurts you.Yeah ok what ever... I have pretty much stopped spanking my son because like I said before I really don't think it makes anything any better. It's a quick easy punishment...

So how do you punish??

 

[itsbob]

The spanking itselt isn't what works, it's the kids realizing and realizing throughout their lives, that there are consequences for bad behaviour. When you are a kid a spanking is an attention getting consequence and MOST kids don't want to take the chance of getting one..

If you don't spank, of find an equivalent punishment, they have no idea of consequence for actions.. and they'll go through life doing whatever the hell they want because they don't know nor understand the concept.

I'm a divorced mom of 2 teen aged boys. They are not angels and all kids will test limits in some way. There is NO WAY I could physically "beat their butts" at their ages - they're bigger & nearly bigger than I am! But I don't have to. They have respect for me. I expect it.

They know I mean what I say & say what I mean. They know there will be consequences for their behavior. That's not to say they always do what they're supposed to, either. But that's part of being a teenager. :shrug:

And they know if Momma ain't happy - ain't nobody happy.

I take away everything he enjoys.Tv,Playstion,Playing with friends outside.

 

[MMDad]

Because children are not computers. You don't program them once and it's permanent. They forget and need to be reminded. As they grow they test their limits.

I assume you are the "don't spank" type? That's fine if you want to be that way, but it is just as wrong for you to judge those who spank as it is for us to judge you. Don't mistake the occasional spanking with people who beat their children in anger.
