Actually, there are large and growing numbers of snot-nosed kids that need a good whipping.
I’m on the principal’s side.
The principal should have paddled the idiot mother.
I would not object to the school authorities spanking my child, though I or my wife would be present.
Paddle my kid in front of me ? I don’t thinks so.
I smell a huge lawsuit coming on.
I know I got whacked pretty good by nuns in 1st and 2nd grade. I didn’t turn into a monster. I think it did me good. As a matter of fact when I complained to my dad about it once, he piled on and gave me another licking. Gheesh, it’s tough being a kid!
Did the child get a paddling because his mom didn’t take him to school or for something he did, I wonder.
they barely TOUCHED the kid with it.
he spit at a teacher.
and newswit anchorwoman cried in her dressing room!!!
another anchorwoman was outraged.
and millions more (excepting FReepers) will destroy the country once and for all in the Nov. election unless men turn out in insane numbers against hitlary.
>> Paddle my kid in front of me ? I don’t thinks so.
Not necessary if you properly control and discipline your own spawn.
But if you breed entitlement snowflakes and turn them out into society without proper character, we may find it necessary to compensate for your failures.
Just sayin’.
As long as I agreed and was present, then I agree. However, if I did not agree like this parent did not, I’d have decked that a$$hole principal.
I used to get it by the nuns as a kid in parochial school in the 50s early 60s. Usually a single swat with the pointer to the back of the head or knuckles.
Then if dad found out I needed to get whacked....i’d get whacked again.
Worked well. The real bad kids behaved....at least while in school
The mother gave permission.
“Her son has had 18 unexcused absences this school year and she was once arrested for his truancy.”
A five year old? Mom arrested? What do you think is really going on here? Bizarre all around if you ask me.

What would you do if your child is fighting and spitting on a teacher? Would you spank them?
Yeah, I know you’re going to say your child wouldn’t do that. In this case, the mother’s history proves that she is a worthless POS and sorry mother.
Absence of spanking in childhood leads to batons, tazers, and guns in adulthood.
What does the boy’s Dad have to say?
The kid spit on a teacher. He’s about five years from juvie, and “mom” is a piece of work herself.
“is paddling really an effective way to punish a child this young?”
Yes, if done under proper control and appropriate circumstances. Is it okay for a principal to do it against the will of the parent? NO.
>> Absence of spanking in childhood leads to batons, tazers, and guns in adulthood.
You know, I read that exact same thing in the Bible!
Of course Solomon put it a little differently... probably because tazers hadn’t been invented yet. :-)
When I was a kid, the Principal used a rubber strap across the palms of the hands. Any punishment I got at school, I was guaranteed to get double at home! I only needed to get the strap once, to learn not to cut up.
I drive a bunch of 13-14 year olds on my school bus. Believe me, at least 50% of them should have had their butts paddled by their parents 10 years ago!
