WWHS REASON #5,198
Because there are “teachers” like this guy in the g-schools:
School discipline needed as last resort
As a teacher, I very seldom use corporal punishment, but I am glad it is there. It is needed as a last resort. I am glad that my board of education and the state legislature have the guts to support the teachers.The Fayetteville Observer had an article concerning why teachers leave the profession (of course, the paper never talked to any teachers).
They leave mostly for bad working conditions. This is mostly unruly students, and then not being backed up by the administration. For instance, the female teacher in Baltimore who was attacked and beaten up in her classroom and the principal not backing her up. I see that many school administrators around the country suffer from “no gutsitis.”
I do not know about the group Action for Children, but I bet its members do not work in public or private education. Who is giving them money? If corporal punishment was banned, they would then use their silly arguments to complain about other forms of school discipline.

All those who advocate laying violent hands on children in the name of “discipline” should also be subject to the same rules themselves. That is to say, their boss should have the option of “spanking” them when they “willfully” call in sick on a sunny Friday. Their husband should be allowed to beat them for “talking back” during an argument. The bank president should be allowed to switch them when they bounce a check. And the cop should be allowed to tase them for exercising their First Amendment right to free expression where the cop doesn’t like it… Ooops, I guess they already have that one down pat…. |
