Are there any schools left anymore that paddle kids? Or have the lawyers pretty much scared schools into not doing that type of stuff anymore?

you probably won't find it in a public school any more, unless it's a very small school in a place where political correctness and the ACLU hasn't infected the populace.

I teach/ coach at a high school here in Texas. We still practice corporal punishment up to the 12th grade. It works VERY well at every level. The parents love it also.

stats:

population of town-4500
school population- HS (only) - 600

My daughter in law teaches elementary in Tennessee and they practice it as well.I respectfully disagree with it working very well though, especially since I've worked in juvenile lockup(14-18) and that physical type of aggressive punishment is the last thing they need.In school suspension,supsensions,time-outs are a lot more reasonable alternative punishment .Parents need to be held somewhat accountable as well IMO.

I was in second grade (circa 1980/81) when I had my first experience with a classmate given "time out". Even as a second grader, I thought it was bogus. While the rest of the kids in class were threatened with the paddle, this kid was placed in a corner and given time out. Even the kid knew he was getting over. Time out is no way to discipline a kid. Spare the rod, spoil the child.

Yeah, your kid hits someone, hit him back and tell him it is wrong!

Yeah, beat your kids!

If you don't whip your kids, then you don't love them.

One of the few times I agree with you, although whip is a little strong of a word. If any child believes they can do whatever they want without fear of punishment they will continue to do what they have been doing that is counter productive. And whoever believes that time outs or loving conversations regarding their disgressions will correct the problem is sadly mistaken. Kids just see that as "getting away with it". A good smack on the butt is worth a thousand "you're in timeout so go sit in the corners".

there is no general rule across the board for handling children. I have twins and have to take completely different approaches in teaching them right from wrong. I am an advocate of corporal punishment if the child's personality dictates it, but it is no panacea.

It is no panacea, but it shouldn't be ruled out completely, either. Right now, corporal punishment is nearly non-existent in schools across the country.

I would always rather get whipped than get grounded or something at home. Pain isnt that big of a deal and it goes away. Not being able to do stuff for 2 weeks is garbage.


Punishments at school don't work very well at school no matter what they are IMO. Timeout, Suspension, detention, they all suck and don't work.

It starts at home. If parents let their kids act like delinquents with no regard to authority, then tie the hands of the educational system they in trust to raise their child. That system is broken from Point A.

While in school, I got every paddling/belt I needed and deserved much more that what I got both home and school.

The Turney Center better be annexing some land in the next few years to allow for Time-out sessions.

Your first part of your post says it all. It starts at home. How true that is. :thumbsup:

I have to send out a form at the start of the year that parents use to specify which form of punishment they will allow the school to administer. Most of the time, the parents who deny the right to paddle their child are the ones whose kids need it the most.

I like the use of paddling, when the teachers don't abuse a privilege. When I was growing up, I know of a couple of teachers that looked forward to us screwing up.

You know, my mother never once asked me "Did you have fun at school today?" School wasn't SUPPOSED to be fun. It was supposed to be all business and that included appropriate discipline. I knew that if I got in trouble at school and my mama found out about it, I was in DOUBLE trouble the minute I stepped off that school bus. She didn't call the teacher to cuss her out or go to the school to defend her little angel. She would never let anybody abuse us, but she stood behind the school 100% and even told them if we got out of line to bust our butts. I think I turned out ok.

I would hardly consider spanking aggression. There are rules, child obeys them, there is no spanking.

I'm with you on that one. My parents spanked me growing up and I never felt "abused" or whatever. Of course they never did it out of anger. They would send me to my room and let me think about it for awhile. Now that I think about it, it was probably as much for them (so they weren't mad) as it was to torture me.

They always gave me a talk after and asked if I understood why I was spanked and all that stuff.
