Hit ‘em again!

Harder! Harder!

[camle]

I don’t have tooo many objections to the spanking, but was pulling the kid’s pants down in front of the class really necessary? that part I’d question most harshly

[christianhomeschoolmommaof3]

Oh my goodness. I hope this isn’t true but if it is then heads need to roll. There is a place for corporal punishment but it isn’t in public with pants pulled down. Any loving discipline we give our children should be done in private out of respect for the child’s dignity.

I must be getting old. I spent about my elementary school life in California and Florida and I was spanked more than once by teachers, and once by our principal in California. That was the one you didn’t want: He had a paddle with holes in it and knew how to use it. Now it’s a major scandal? No wonder we’re on a downhill slide...

[fredhead]

My fifth grade teacher had a large paddle that hung behind her desk. It had an applique on it that stated:

Never spank a child in the face
Nature provides a better place

And I tell you, that old spinster lady could HIT!!!

Need more of that both in the schools and at home.

[FreePaul]

From what I’ve been reading about teachers I’m surprised that she stopped with a spanking when she got his pants down.

This what happens when a slacker Parent and a socialist school system collide.

ping for the list

[goodwithagun]

Hint for teacher: Claim it was a sex ed demonstration. You’ll get off scott free!

[MNDude]

how many of you would like some liberal teacher to have the right to paddle your kid.

[Peter from Rutland]

If it was my kid he wouldn’t be acting up in the first place but if that happened the teacher would wind up missing. Permanently.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself) The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

At least he didn’t get swats from Miss Hess (2nd grade teacher). She had a paddle that looked like it was 3ft long.

[John O]

Have you ever noticed that every kid this happens to is called "Mildly disabled" or some such?

What ever happened to parents recognizing that kids (even their perfect little angels) sometimes get out of line and a good paddling will help them stay straight for a long time.

[jmacusa]

Anyone ever did this to a child of mine they’d be thrown off a roof.
