Subject: Corporal Punishment

The website that I found was: http://www.educationworld.com/a_issues/starr/starr051.shtml On this page elementary teachers and administrators were targeted for using corporal punishment. I think that this website is more of an editorial than an actual reference. The author clearly did not grow up with corporal punishment in the home. The negativity and oftentimes sarcastic remarks are apparent that they were definately a time-out kid! I believe very strongly in corporal punishment at home and at school. How would you feel if your child was acting up at school and all the teacher would say about it is "Well we all love little Johnny he just likes attention"; instead of doing anything about the problem or even letting you know that there is a problem that exists. This gives me the further notion that our teachers need to have more of a backbone when it comes to disciplining their students. True, in middle school and in high school corporal punishment should be obselete and different approaches should be used but in elementary school, students need a good "paddling". Needless to say, at all times should parents be informed before and after the behavior reaches a point of corporal punishment. The parent should also be allowed to intervene and make a solid approach towards the child regarding his or her behavior. It is 2007, parents need to take some initiative and become parents. We were not put here to become friends with our children. Now of course you can be friendly but alot of parents now have erased that line that says just how friendly we are. My daughter is only 14 months old, when I pick her up from daycare and she falls out and has a tantrum, I pick her up, spank her butt, and tell her I am not her friend and she needs to get up and stop clowning around. I do not like disciplining her but she does cross the line at times just to see if mommy is going to let her get away with what Ms.Sally lets her get away with at school.Other methods of discipline are also used and taken into consideration with the infraction, but for me to take corporal punishment away completely from my home or even away from my child's school would be a crime. Of course I do expect a phone call at the beginning of the problem (when she is disruptive at school), not after she has reached that discipline level.
