What are your thoughts on this? It happened a lot back in the day. They phased it out I guess when I was in about 1st grade--my first grade teacher used to whoop us when we acted up, but by the middle of maybe 2nd grade, nobody did this anymore.
I didn't bother to tell my parents if my teacher whooped me--all they would have said was, "Well, what did you do?" and I probably would have gotten in trouble.

Worked well when I was in elementary too. Now they wont even let parents hit kids, I doubt they'd bring it back to schools.

Yeah, that stopped after I was in 2nd grade or so. The principal could still whoop a kid, but the kid would have to choose that form of punishment instead of suspension/call parents. My parents never allowed a teacher or principal to hit me, and I wouldn't allow it for my kids either.

Our teachers were only allowed to hit the inside of our hands with a ruler. The number of times depended on the offense. My parents had no problem with this whatsoever. I didnt either cause if I got a phonecall I was gonna see more than a ruler.

If I did something wrong, my parents wanted to be responsible for my punishment. Trust me...I would have preferred the teacher just hit me instead of my father. Likewise, if my kids are acting up in school, I want them to just notify me and let me deal with it.

What are your thoughts on this? If they are cutting up and misbehaving....WHIP THEIR ASSES!! I venture to say that is why we have so many teens today running wild...they weren't disciplined as they should have been when there were pre-teens. |

If parents whooped their kids asses and laid off the 40s and blunts, maybe we wouldn't have kids Sopulja Bio'ing on the Marta and scaring Big Mama on her way from IGA!  |

I remember in the first grade, the teacher had told us to put away all the toys. We pulled them out, and started playing. She came running at us with this ruler in her hand, swinging at random kids. We scattered like CROWS! I ain't NEVER seen some toys get put up so fast. Ah, the good old days.  It's crazy because I thought she was about 32934373 years old when I was in the first grade. But I saw her about two years ago...and she's really not that old at all. |

my mom wasn't having that and I wouldn't do it either. When I was really little my baby sitter could and maybe my aunt. But my mom didn't have a relationship with my teachers like that so them physically punishing me might have been TROUBLE

I remember another woman who was over the after school care program, and she was also a substitute teacher. She had a thick wooden paddle she called "The Killer Dog". If you cut up in after school care, she would give you a few licks on the palm of your hand with the Killer Dog, then make you sit in time-out.
After second grade (this was the early eighties), I don't remember her doing that anymore--she made kids write sentences and sit in time-out if they acted up.

I remember my first grade teacher had a paddle she called LUCY. I remember being in the 6th grade and the Principal wanted to paddle me for fighting. I told him that he wasn't going to touch me. The alternative was suspension for 2 or 3 days. They called my mother and she told me to go ahead and let him paddle me, so I did. I think the reason kids are so bad these days is because the parents don't want anyone to touch them, and the parents barely discipline them either. I would be ok with my children being paddled at school, and I would whoop them again when they got home.

Nope. Physical discipline is perfectly acceptable in my book, but it's a job for the PARENTS. My child was wildin'? Cool. Call me. It'll get took (yes, took) care of. Most likely, I won't allow anyone besides my husband and myself to physically discipline my child(ren)

I think the "quality" of people all the way around has changed too much for this to be an effective practice...in this day and age you have teachers sleeping with their students and if that line is so easily crossed I can just imagine the travesty that would exist behind re-instilling these practices...we had a music teacher who would pop the hell out of your hand with "The Oak" and he hit me once for something that I did not do and it just totally had me resentful towards him...I say nay...

I agree. Many of our teachers today are not like the ones we had in the good old days. I am a firm believer in physical discpline, and I do allow persons other than myself and my husband to discpine my child, but those persons know who they are. I just wouldn't feel comfortable giving people who I don' t know/trust the freedom to discpline my children. At that same time, my children know that I am not going to tolerate bad behavior either. What they know will happen when they get home has so far been a very powerful deterrent. |

Now that's some GOOD OLD-FASHIONED discipline. And what's crazy is that if something like that happened back in the day, people would laugh and that would be it. Now that teacher would be fired. I remember a 3rd grade teacher taping up a kids mouth because he wouldn't stop talking. |
