Corporal Punishment in Public Schools laws - Information on the law about Corporal Punishment in Public Schools

Kick some a$$!!!!! ;D

I am in my first year of college and I am writing a paper on Corporal Punishment in schools. I went into this unbiast and I have come to the conclusion that corporal punishment has its pros and cons. I read about several cases where the punishment was taken too far and as a result the child or children needed medical care. It is my belife that it is a parents job to decide how their child is punished. And as for the previous comments...why is it that everthing has to go back to race. White and black kids these days are disprespectful to their parents and superiors. There is no proof that corporal punishment is even effective so why keep it in the schools systems!

it doesnt matter if the kids are black or white. what matters is that corporal punishment should not be allowed in our school system. We send our kids to school to learn. Not be afraid that they may or may not receive a "paddling". There are kids sitting right there in the same classroom as your kids, who are being abused, neglected every day of their lives. and to go to school, the one place that they probably enjoy being, and to get a paddling there ... it just blows my mind. Corporal punishment in schools should be abolished. There are other means for discipline and physical violence is not one of them. AS long as i live in a school district that is pro corporal punishment, my children will be home schooled.

In response to the previous comment. Black children seem to have more discipline than the white kids. How many Black children do you see calling their parents names like these "time out" white children do. Why do people have to be so racist and always sound stupid because their facts are screwed up. Corporal punishment is not a race issue, it's a personal issue. Some can spank their children without crossing the line of abuse, others can't.

5/2010. In reading the previous comments, I've come to agree that corporal punishment should still be in existence. Yes our kids go to school to learn and should not fear a paddling. But kids are killing kids in school. So we stopped the paddling, and now the kids are bringing guns and knives to protect themselves because the teachers and principals can't do anything but call their parents, if they have the right number.My grandparents grew up as fine citizens, my parents grew us as fine citizens and they all received paddling in school. If the kids of today knew that the principal could spank them, I'm sure their behavior would change. Because it's no longer waiting till you got home, it would be you get one and when you get home, you might get another one. However, some have taken corporal punishment and turned it into abuse. Those are case by case situations and should have been handled that way. Let families go back to raising their families and let the government stick with fixing the economy and stay out of our homes.

As students, we believe in "if it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger". I know for a fact that there isnt gonna be a student getting corporal punishment to the point of death. Therefore, the attitude continues. I suggest other effective methods instead of corporal punishment. [In response to the first comment, allowing it won't affect ONLY black children; and MOST white children's attitudes are worse than those of black children. I speak from experience.]

Okay, listen up. I don't believe in this corporal punishment panazz. This is non-since, students do not deserve punishment in schoools!!!!!!!! BULL CRAP!

hey yo diz is dumb

I am student in high school, as a child when I did somthing that was wrong I was told not to. When it escalated and I continued I was usually spanked and sent to my room and I learned from my mistakes. I see kids now with no manners, cocky, have no respect ect. and O know that they have parents who say "don't do that" and leave it at that. Abuse is one thing but this is a whole different subject when its just a form of discipline.

They should allow it because most black children need it beacause there isn't alot of the punishment at home as they do so thats good that they have corporal punishments in school

i might believe in it a little cause some students need that punishment but some teachers have a tendancy to abuse authority which is rare but it happens so its kinda hard to say but i know some schools would be better off if they had corporal punishment like half the schools sin new york but then again it might start a war students againts teacher

corporal punishment have it benefit and also it's bad side. For me i think the parents should be the one to decide if it should be used or not. well for now check out this replica orologi

we must spank these little brats because they dont listen!!!!

good people, i am a student teacher in edgewood campus. am going to be a future teacher. i dont believe on corporal punishment. learners should not be punished at schools totally. other teachers do it unfarerly according to the attitudes they have about learners. sometimes you only find that a teacher dislike/hate that particular child and use purnishment as if he/she is discipling you. so teachers dont use corporal punishment to the learners!!!!!!

As a student in the 4th grade;my teacher Mrs.Thomas kept me after school one day in December.I was soundly talk too,later I was given an open hand spanking but only after Mrs.Thomas conferred with my mom
about my behavior on the telephone.Mrs.Thomas did spank my bare bottom not unlike how my mom would spank me.Plus another female teacher Mrs.Gina was present during my spanking.

As a student i think paddling is necessary because some kids need that a## tore because their parents dont whoop them enough and when they actually need a "paddiling" the principles there to give it to them. Now getting whooped for not having homework is ridiculous!! It should only be used when the student has done something harshly wrong and it also doesn't matter what color they are! If they need there a## whooped then by all meens do it! The bible says "Spare the rod spoil the child." If the kids out of line I will use the rod to beat the child!!!

As a teacher.... I agree with certain points listed, but please give us something that protects both us and disciplines the students. I am female, short of stature and small of size and work in the high school. I would never hit a student (i would loose my job) but it would be nice to have some way to threaten or discipline. Some students are totally out of control, no matter what a parent has done at home.

i do not and will not ever agree with corporal punishment in any school. all i think needs to be done is having parents called and letting them deal with their own kids the way they feel fit. it isn't anybody else's place to punish the child unless they are of some sort of relation.

take out f every state....gosh!!!

my 12 year old nephew received a paddling in school today. i went to his house after he called and he has bruises covering his whole buttock and half way down the back of his thigh... this was his punishment for not turning in a homework assignment...

I got a few spankings when I was a kid, and I was even paddled once in grade school. I am thankful to God for my upbringing. All through school we had male principles - which scared some of the the kids. The elementary school principle who paddled me only gave me one lick, citing that I'd never been in trouble before. Some others got only one lick too, while one kid got his butt worn out. I am a firm believer in spanking. As for the school's spanking my son, I would want to meet his teachers before allowing that - just as a precaution. My son's mother does not like spanking. I don't know what makes people go so wrong in life. My son's mother left me without cause several years ago, despite that she claims to be a Christian, and despite that says she prayed on her knees to God that she will raise our son to be a Godly person. His mother's liberal attitude is exemplified in the fact that she does not know how to dicipline my him. She also seems to want to keep me in fear that she'll make me trouble if I spank my son. She came to the U.S. illegally, but she lives fairly lawfully - today. While she doesn't drink, smoke nor do drugs, she does lack some of the better diciplines. It is more like that she strains at gnats and swallows the camels sometimes. She never goes to church. She was raised a privelaged brat, and she raises my son the same way that her mother helped to nanny the U.S. ambassador's kids while they were all still in Peru. I, however, want my son to be better than any politician's spoiled kids, especially better than some ambassador's kids. Ambassadors get pretty much a free ride, with little to answer to. My son definitely deserves better than to be spoiled like one of their kids. I salute the people who spank, and I pity the fools who oppose it, but mostly, I pity the children of the fools who oppose spanking.

I dont see whats wrong with corpoal punishment. I think that kids wont learn unless you smack them around a little. If they know the worst that's going to happen is a time out, then they'll do whatever they want.

good morning america had a piece on physical restraint in schools,12-10-2009. it is happening all over the country and has led to death.we have got to do something to stop this. our children are not going to school to be abused, they are to go to school to prepare them for their future and seeing and receiveing abuse is something they should not be learning.
