Do you think this type of punishment would be effective? Why?
Why do some kids get more beatings than others?
If you live in a state where such punishment is banned, would you support its re-introduction into the classroom? Why?

At some points this kind of punishment is right and wrong. its right at the point where no one can help the teacher with disruptive students. This punishment would not work because students would tell their parents what their teachers have done to them. But they would learn what to do and what not to do. Wrong because its just wrong to beat students for something they might have done.

I believe it is wrong because if you dothat at Piper evry teacher would get beaten up because with the amount of students in this school and with a lot ingnerent students that punishment wont work. Also the teacher and the school be braught to court and they will get into some trouble!

1. No, Spanking at School is wrong and embarassing. This punishment can be effective because the embarassment can make kids stop doing wrong things. Some kids get more beatings than other because racism towards the black. I would not re-introduce this punishment into a classroom because it's embarassing.
2. This article is very informative, I never knew kids were still being spanked in schools.

1. I dont think the practice of spanking at public schools should continue because it should be the parents responsibility to do the spanking not the schools.

2. This method could be effective on some kids but not others, if a student is used to the beating it would almost not effect him.

3. According to the article black females were paddled twice the rate of white females, so I think it sounds like a race issue.

4. If I lived in a state where spanking in school was banned I would not try to get it back because it promotes violence which is a negativ ething to have in a school enviorment.

No!!! kids should not be spanked in school because it's the parents job to dicsipline their kids. It doesn't teach the kids anything. If they makea mistake or do something wrong, tell their parents and let them take care of their child.

No they shouldnt spankthe students.
Thats a punishment you get when your 2 not when your a high school student.
wtf?
half of the students are bigger than the teachers so if the teacher wants to get hit back then they can go right ahead.

and if you give a teacher the right to hit a student it will escalde to further abuse.

sooooooo
dont touch the kids

Beating children in school is wrong and is not a good way to disipline a child.some kids get more beatings then others because their behavior is worse.Beating students is not effective becuase they would do the same thing over and over again

no,because i believe that kids shouldnt be enbarrassed in front of there peers!!but on the other hand it would be o.k if it was done at home because that helps "some" kids behave!!but it should only be taken to a certain instinct you can spank you kids but dont beat them!!!but you shoul get both sides of the story first!!!

no! they should not spank the kids because it expresses violence and kids will fight back. teachers are not allowed to touch their students in any way because most teachers will take it to the extreme.... spanking students will result to bigger problems.

No i wouldnt want this practice to continue because it doesnt make any effect to children changing their behavior.

I dont think this type of punishment is effective because students now and days will hit a teacher back because they fight for what they believe in and beating students is wrong.

Some kids get more beating then others either because their black, they have disablities or they just are diffrent from what the teacher prefers.

I would not re introduce this punishment because its not effective and it doesnt work.

Basically i think this whole thing about beating students is rediculous and shouldnt be aloud in any state or country.

In my opinion, students should only be disiplined by their parents. Being Disiplined in a way such as being "Spanked" by someone you barely know such as another student or teacher might only make matter's worse. Because i know if it was me, i might fight back anybody trying to hit me unless it's a family member such as my mother or grandmother

4. ii dont support this idea because teacher's dont have no right hitting somebody else's child.

1. Do you want to see the practice continue? No because kids shouldn't be beaten for misbehaving, they should have detention or something.

2. Do you think this type of punishment would be effective? No because it only teaches the kids about violence and it could really hurt them physically & emotionally.

3. Why do some kids get more beatings than others? probably because they misbehave to a certain point where a teacher can't control it.

4. If you live in a state where such punishment is banned, would you support its re-introduction into the classroom? No way, because if a teacher ever beat me I would take them to court and see how they like that :)

No that is so stupid. Hitting the kids is not gonna teach them anything!!!

No it would not be affective because after awhile they will get used to it, and most of the time the bad kids dont care.

Some kids get more beatings then other because some are worst then others and some might get hit more because teachers could have a personal problem with them you never know.

No. I disagree mostly because now days teacher lives would be in danger if they hit their students!!!

2.No i dont think that this punishment would be effective because it wouldnt change anything with the students they would just act the same.
3.More kids probably get more beatings then others because they probably talk back more then others.
4.The punishment should be banned everywhere, no i would not support it.


i dont think its right to be hitting on other peoples children because there not there parents or they're not anything to them, so therefore i think its a stupid idea because that means that some kids would just go back doing the samething all over again.

1. No i dont want to see this practice continue i think hitting kids as punishment is wrong

2. No it would not be these days kids would not just sit there and take it they will fight back and that doesnt solve anything.

3. If the person giving the beatings is raciest or has favorites that might make it easier or harder on the person getting beat

4.No i wouldnt want them to start that. That kind of behaivior would only make things worse and cuase more drama.

my comment is no child deserves to be beat .. maybe some do haha

wow, well err. definetlty not. i dont think it right for a teacher or someone who isnt your partents to "spank" you. thats rude and disrespecful in many ways. if the student does something wrong then they should be punished but not by getting spanked. your not thier parents. do something else do not hit a kid/teen.

I think that students should get spanked in school and would like to behave better in school. I think this punishment would be effective because the students would behave and know what is wrong or right. Some kids get more beating because their behavior is maybe terrible than others. I think that it would cause a problem if it is reintroduced back in school because people in today's society is more likely to be violent.

1. i dont think that kids should be beat by anyone other then thier parents and who ever thier parents give permission to
2.this punishment is not effective because students will probably fight back since they dont have any fear towards teachers
3. i believe some kids would get beat more than others because if the teacher personally doesnt like the student he might just take out more anger on that student
4. no i dont think this should be brought back into schools, because school is a place you come to learn and get an education not to be beaten or spanked.

In my own opinion i think that it all depends on the age of the child. Hitting a small child at an early age can either make them hustile or physiclly afraid of everything. So to finish i think its not a good idea because it a lose lose situation

No, I do not think that students in school should be disciplined with physical action because it's not the teachers right nor do they have the permission to be hitting children that are not theirs, even though the students are under the watch of the school,those situations should be dealt with at home with the child's parents.

i personally do not want to see corporal punished continued. Not only because of my age but i also agree wit the reporter that giving corporal punishment is encouraging violence. i do believe that corporal punishmnet is effective because when a person is punished they generally don't commit the same act again. I think that kids get punished more because of color. no i wouldnt because of the reason i mentioned above

Anonymous said...

I think that practice shouldnt be continued because the students arent the teachers kid and they dont have the approval from the real parents. This punishment wouldnt be effective because in some cases that may be causing long term damage on the kids mind. Some teachers might be a little racist or that one kid behaves worse then the other ones. If it was up to me I would never reinstate that punishment because if its wrong for parents to hit their own kid, then what gives the teachers the right to hit kids that arent theirs.

To me I think that when you should spank a child it's at a young age because they would learn form right and worng. When you get older there should't hit the kids any more because they learn there lesson as a child. So no i think that it should not take place at all

in some cases i do think that the spank rule should be brought back because this rule worked in the earlier times and I think that some students should learn their lesson. On the other hand I think that the rule should not be brought back because it is illegeal for any other person to hit someone over age so why should that be any fifferent in this situation?

In my opinion spanking/paddling in school should not be allowed. School's supposed tyo be a safety and happy place; but with the spanking rule enforced kids would be scared and dread the thoughtof even attending school!
I belive that this method of disipline is totally and completly ridiculous. Hitting a child like the article said teaches violence and thats not what you want to portray to them. At one point they may start to think that since thier parents can do it that they can hit who ever they want if that child/elder did something wrong.
Some children now-a-days get more beatings for silly reasons. Such as for attention, its ubsurd.

Anonymous said...

The way things are now in today's world I dont believe that you should go around hitting other people children, like honestly that the parents job. If it was allowed somewhere I do believe that it would work but only with younger crowd since they know that there would be any issue if they were to misbehave. Umm, all children are different and you should be allowed to continue to beat a child if the issue hasn't been solved thats why everyone has parents. I would not want it to be allowed because I think that some people would just abuse the "right" to hurt children.

NO NO NO This sourt of punishment should not be practiced, should not be possible period for country or school!!! i do think the punishment would be effective but not for getting an education for being scared and for being not preparied to answer questions or to stand out and not to be scared to be open mined. Some kids this form of corpal punishment there parents approve it because there parents beat them to teach there child a lesson is fine every once in a while. But to verbialy and physicaly do it constantly to the poor child is redicious!!! Im proud to live in a country where such punishment is banned and we have our own rights. Would i want to re-introduce this punishment in any form or way NO!!! It is not right i dont care what any one say's.

Personally I think that teachers have the right to "spank" if its they're.Teachers are your gaurdians when stdents are in school,But there is no need to punish a child by spanking there are different ways, some that we already know of such as detentions, internal suspencion, if they havent learned from the first warnings ... then they do what they think they should.
