How is this NOT child abuse?

[Red Badger]

I have no problem with that, but this was a dangerous, and potentially deadly ‘punishment’ that teachers are not authorized to do. Would the English teacher have the ‘power’ to do this?....................

[Red Badger]

It is in my book..............

“I’m on the side of the gym teacher here. Maybe the gym teacher is trying to help instill BEING A MAN into this little boy INSTEAD OF A FRUIT CAKE like his mommy is doing, AS SO MANY SINGLE MOMMY’S ARE DOING!!!!.
Get a grip, people. This little boy probably doesn’t have a father in his life SO SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP UP AND SET THIS LITTLE FEMBOY STRAIGHT!!! “

—

He’s only TEN years old-——the teacher was wrong and the mother was wrong going to the press.

Calling the poor kid a FEMBOY it over the top.

But they’re not going to fire him. Union.

That's right. Come to the defense of the boy being disciplined. That's how our society ends up full of FRUIT CAKES who can't be disciplined by teachers no matter WHAT they do. My mom would've told me I deserved it and to BEHAVE in school OR ELSE!

WOW. JUST. WOW. SMH.

I got the paddle by the vice principle in 7th grade because my friend wanted to pass notes about the hot teacher. But that was a long time ago.

I'm glad you weren't my parent growing up. WOW. JUST. WOW.

[Red Badger]

Yes, that was the way we did as well.................

[MichaelCorleone]

How much more of this has to happen for parents to wise up and homeschool (or unschool). Or a good Catholic school.

Public schools are prisons and many teachers are little more than child abusers (to the white boys at least).

Do the right thing before the damage done to you child is irreparable.

If this had been my kid, there would be a gym teacher in the hospital.................

A half hour in cold rain won't kill a kid, but it will get his attention. Had one of my boys (they're 42 and 39 now) complained of this treatment I'd have asked "What'd you do?" Behavior is supposed to have consequences.

[D_Idaho]

Dude, you got way more out of that article than I did! From your many responses to this post, I get that you think the solution to our country’s ills is more punishment. Weird!

[Buckeye McFrog]

I had MUCH worse punishments than that.

I went to Catholic school.

[Red Badger]

That’s a private school, so it’s paid to do that..............

[Buckeye McFrog]

Yup, they are preparing their kid to be just another entitled snowflake.

People pay hundreds of dollars to sit in the rain at NFL games for 2 1/2 hours.

[JimRed]

It has been my experience with ‘gym’ teachers that most are sadists.................

I must'a had good ones, then. They'd work you hard but give praise commensurate with the effort you expended. And the usual result of misbehavior was running laps, weather notwithstanding. This WAS back in the '50s, though.

[CivilWarBrewing]

When FReepers are standing united AGAINST students being punished in school then were are FINISHED as a society.

Seriously. One of the biggest problems today is that most boys' FATHER FIGURES ARE THEIR MOTHERS.. AND WE WONDER WHY THERE ARE SO MANY EMASCULATED, FEMINIZED METROSEXUAL BOYS TODAY... SICKENING!!!!

But perhaps a society full of homos, crossdressers, transgenders, manly females and girly men is all just GOD'S PUNISHMENT FOR FEMINISM.

GYM teacher punishes boy.. MOMMY TO THE RESCUE! This is a HORRIBLE lesson for the kid and only REINFORCES EMASCULATION!!!

[Red Badger]

Mine were in the 60’s and early 70’s.

Looking back, as an adult, I now believe they were not only sadists but homos as well..............
