Everyone has the basic right to be secure in their person. Free from physical attack by any other person. If you don't understand that you don't understand much.
Kids need to do what they ar told plain and simple! There is no room for argument or discussion.
Good, I'll have your kids working in my yard this weekend and if they stop for even a moment I'll kick the crap out of them. Hey, it's with your permission.
Just do what you are told or face the consequences, and with pansy ass punishment like time out, there are virtually no consequences.
If a government employee puts a hand on my child they will receive a permanent time out.
Said in a way that would make any government operative proud.
**Get your money up (a letter of guarantee from a major bank will do)
So, are you accepting the bet? Are you prepared to put up $10 million dollars of your own money? Are you going to get a letter of guarantee from a major bank? Well?
**I have no idea what this phrase means.
That's OK. Most of what you've said on this thread is bland and meaningless.
You sound more like a robot than a human being.
Way to go, scholar!!
I know you have a bet going on about your children getting assaulted at school, but I'd like a bet on the above statement. Spanking was still allowed in Illinois the 80's. Decision done by districts.
If you have an argument to present on the topic of the thread please make it or go play in heavy traffic.
Pappy needs your help like he needs another head. You insignificant twit.
I have no bet with anyone. Just a little back and forth between two old posters here that need not be explained to people who are not involved.
Spanking was still allowed in Illinois the 80's. Decision done by districts.
You may be right about that, I was addressing the school systems in Cook county. I would have to do more research on others.
Now you can tell me if it is still allowed anywhere in Illinois since you claim to know so much about it.
Pssst, guess what? You're posting to a public forum. Anything you post here becomes everybody's business. If you want to send a personal message to another FReeper, then use FReepmail. Otherwise I or any other FReeper can and will post our own comments in response to your comments on this or any other thread on this forum. I don't care whether or not you like it because that's the way things are set up here on FR. So you might as well get used to it.

LOL! You make Don Rickles sound like a Sunday school teacher by comparison. Why don't you try relaxing your butt muscles a little bit and then maybe you wouldn't be so apt to jump down everybody's throats if they don't happen to agree with you 100% on a particular issue.
Pappy needs your help like he needs another head. You insignificant twit.
That's funny, because based on your "contributions" to this thread (which were mostly in the form of insults), that's precisely the impression that you have given us of yourself.
You can read it and comment of course, but the post wasn't to you or about the topic so if you get involved you look like a moron. I'm quite sure that if Appy Pappy needs your pathetic help he will be sure to call on you.
because that's the way things are set up here on FR. So you might as well get used to it.
I've been here a lot longer than you so I know what goes on here, apparently you do not. People don't usually get involved in comments which are made specifically to others posters.
Why don't you try relaxing your butt muscles a little bit
You seem to have an unusal interest in my butt muscles.

Us? You have a frog in your pocket? Please recount the insults specifically, not including the ones made to you which were in response to your attacks on me.
Now go play in traffic.
What a snotty reply. If you were in my classroom--the paddle would be out. You obviously had parents who did not believe in the paddle. The only reason I know about Illinois is because I quit teaching 5 years ago and yes, I spanked. I didn't say "hit", I said spanked. There is a difference. If you put up the rules and say this is the consequence, then if they are broken, everyone knows what is going to happen. Figured if a kid was that bent on a spanking, I sure wasn't going to disappoint him.
Had parents who signed papers that said that I couldn't touch their kids. I said "fine" with me--everytime your kid is out of line, I will call you at work and he will be allowed back in my room after you discipline him. After about 3 "at work" calls, the parents usually told me to do whatever I needed to do to his child--just "Don't call me at work anymore!"
If you don't allow the teacher to discipline, then you had better be prepared to do it yourself!
LOL!
I'm an ear puller myself. Hell to be honest whatever it takes!
Sounds a shame you quit teaching.
Keep smiling,
Philip
At your own peril.
You obviously had parents who did not believe in the paddle.
Incorrect teacher. Good teachers don't jump to conclusions. It is obvious that you weren't a good teacher.

Excellent development for the pupils.
and yes, I spanked.
Good thing you never had a chance to touch my children. For you. People like you are poster children for why government schools should be abolished and why I got my children out of them as soon as possible.
I didn't say "hit", I said spanked. There is a difference.
I don't trust other people to make the distinction. Government employees would be particularly suspect in this regard.
If you put up the rules and say this is the consequence, then if they are broken, everyone knows what is going to happen.
Apparently you didn't know what would happen if you violated one of the basic rules of life. The right to be secure in one's person. To be free of physical violence. Even you can figure it out though.
Figured if a kid was that bent on a spanking, I sure wasn't going to disappoint him.
You figured wrong if you touched one of my children.
Had parents who signed papers that said that I couldn't touch their kids. I said "fine" with me--everytime your kid is out of line, I will call you at work and he will be allowed back in my room after you discipline him.
Now you are thinking correctly. Keep your hands to yourself and I will take the responsibility for my child's actions.
After about 3 "at work" calls, the parents usually told me to do whatever I needed to do to his child--just "Don't call me at work anymore!"
The parents were morons. They didn't take responsibility for their children. They were slackers and cowards. They abdicated it to a government employee. A big problem in our society.
If you don't allow the teacher to discipline use physical punishment, then you had better be prepared to do it yourself!
Perfect!!! Go to the head of the class and take off your dunce cap!
PS, I personally attended government schools in the 50s and 60s. Kindergarten through grade 12. I never witnessed one single case of a government employee touching a child for purposes of discipline. The government schools I attended at that time would put private schools today to shame. In every catagory including discipline. All without physical violence. Go figure, if you can.
I can visualize my dad calling the cops because a 4th grader punched me in the nose and I came home crying.
NOT
Thank you - you beat me to it. (No pun intended)
Congratulations on validating the "It takes a village" brigade...
If you are going to talk about me, have the balls to do it to my face. And you can be pretty sure you wouldn't have been a kid beating me up.

The topic is about ADULTS having physical contact with CHILDREN. Try to keep up.
