I thought Jeff's post about the Blue Ribbon Plan was interesting. I'm in total agreement with his assessment that the plan is moving our students in the right direction and making them invested in their behavior (not that I believe it's a magical cure, but behavior change can be a long-term adjustment and I think the plan has the right foundations). However, today in my department meeting the news that the Blue Ribbon Plan might be repealed brought out a very opposite and excited reaction. The conversation instantly shifted to the possibility that physical punishment would be brought back, and it was talked of as the cure-all for all our problems. According to the teachers, this wasn't just something that they wanted returned to the classroom, but the parents wanted it too and would be in full support of it.

I just wanted to say that the attitude at Nick's school is the same at my school. Teachers and administration, in general, feel that corporal punishment was necessary. Especially, as some put it, with the students we are "dealing with." I, of course, disagree.
