I thought corporal punishment was banned. I’m pretty sure it’s banned in the US.

The schools here can use corporal punishment, but only in severe circumstances and they have to have the parents permission. I don’t believe that’s the way they should handle problems though.

u r from INDIA

and u say

spare the rod

how could u

nice work anyway

NICE ARTICLE…THANKS FOR POSTING IT…I ENJOYED READING IT

I have 6 kids and 6 grandkids and never hit them. I talked to them and allowed them to find their own truth. Good article. I hope more people realize that violence begts violence and only teaches fear instead of faith and confidence in one’s ability.

@ vipul darji:- Thnx for ur comment.

Parents can spank kids, but teachers need not. This is my view.

If I were a teacher, I will make all my students remember me for life…..I will not punish students for sure… and when I hear about teachers punish students physically, I will be very hot and I will feel like punish that teacher… some people say I am wrong, but I just hate it. ..
nice article, i am not very hot……heehee..

Nice Write

i don tink dats gonna happen in d near future..

A good read and educational. I didn’t think this still went on. Children learn by example and teachers should be held accountable in matters as this.

Bad kids should be cane so that they will not become criminal some day

I don’t believe any teachers in the U.S beat students. They would wind up under the jail. Parents are so protective of their children that few parents dicipline their own children. I see so many unruly kids I think they could use some dicipline. I think teachers should have more control over the behavior of students.

I think physical punishment is acceptable , at times … I dnt preach this , but I think that in some cases , u have to be harsh ..

nice topic you have shared in this post..

Corporal punishment was very active in school when I was young, but with today there are other ways to dicipline without hurting someone. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent article. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I find corporal outrageous, especially in an educational arena. Luckily my children here in NY have never informed me of such behavior from a teacher. Well written article, with a lesson to be learned. Hitting and hurting creates a revolving door that is pass on through the generations.

It’s a power trip. Teachers shout down or threaten young children, but when they reach the higher classes, teachers start behaving themselves. They know their domination will no longer work and become more friendly with children. Parents should talk to children so that the children confide in them. When teachers become aggressive, parents should intervene.

Disciplining a child by beating them is an indication the the education system or parent is lacking in ability. We were beaten in school by teachers on a regular basis but the teachers who had the greatest impact on my life and my close friends never resorted to the stick.

I agree that those type of punishments are wrong. No child should be treated that way.
But this is a well written article!

Yalonda has said it all. No child should be strictly treated.

great article you have here. keep up the good work !

Raising children is difficult. We should care many things. Well written.

I so agree with what Ruby has said.

Awesome article.

nice one…

Good article. I agree with you. Sometimes though it’s hard to tell whether teachers are doing this or not unless your child tells you. They might be afraid of the teacher to talk.

@bellatwix:- thnx for the comment.

NIce article. In my country, most teachers who slap/pinch their students come from public schools. I’m not sure exactly the reason for this, except that I think it’s because public school teachers have more students on their hands — the ratio of students to teachers is quite large, so they tend to run out of patience more. Nonetheless, it’s still not enough reason for them to physically hurt their students.

I totally agree that there is no place for violence at school but I think most teachers know that and do try to work with the children. I think the teachers need more support and training to learn about the different learning styles children (and adults) have. I have 4 children and they all learn best in different ways.

Some children are visual, some auditory, some logical and some kinesthetic. If the teachers were trained to spot which the children were they could stop disruptivness before it began.

Wow, controversial for sure but an interesting read. Some of the teachers I had growing up belonged in sanitoriums-so there is also mind abuse instead of the crack to the knuckle. I’m not kidding-one of my teachers ended up having to get electrical shock treatments!
I did spank mine but didn’t kill them and feel they came up very well. Soon as one talks back, that’s it for me! The kids these days do not have enough discipline and a lot of the teachers we have now need to be replaced… but what do you get when people are not well paid?

I agree that this should not be done by teachers, but when parents are afraid to spank their children, like many have become here in America, you wind up with kids being totally out of control and undisciplined. Adults fear them. Many have beaten, if not killed, their own parents. That is not the way things should be either.

joyhyena29:-thnx for the comment

well said. i don’t believe in physical punishment.

@JK Kristie:- thnx for the comment

I loved this.
I still remember the teachers who did that in my school, I am glad that now media had helped in bringing this out open.Only problem with most of our schools here is the strength of the students in each class.Once we limit the student per class then i think teachers will be more focused.
Teachers should motivate with their words and actions with each and every student.
Thank you for this article.

Thanks to both of u for the motivating comment.
