Corporal Punishment in Schools

[jimbosopinion]

Isn't it hypocritical that in certain parts of the US it is legal to commit these acts of domestic violence against the demographic that is most vulnerable to it (children) while there is a strict law prohibiting it against the other demographic less susceptible to it (adults)

Beating Black Kids

[hornjunkie]

naw bullshit,had those when I was in school. stay in line you wouldnt get the paddle. kids are much worse now,so I dont believe this.

[mbrown708]

@hornjunkie I am sure that you where far worse than students of today being that your grammar is the worst I have seen of any of my students.

[hornjunkie]

@mbrown708 your profile shows your 19...what students do you have at that age. or are you hiding something ?

[hornjunkie]

@hornjunkie mbrown 708 you might want to get an understanding of functional discourse grammar.

[Gaszum]

it still gose on today in texas when I attended grand prairie isd, when I went there I saw guys and girls bending over wile they get paddle by male administracion

they acted like it was nonthin I was new there, shocked I never saw a school do that befor and remind you this was in high school 06

it's really bad but no one dose anything bout

I don't get it i'll be a man with pride anyday then to been to let someone hit me

[Christoph777]

@Gaszum What highschool teen would let somebody paddle them?

[laluluke]

This video should b deleted!!

[laluluke]

I went to a school that it was allowed, and it worked!.. I dont think it should b banned from schools..

[Texasjim2007]

The alternative of throwing disruptive kids in jail with homosexual serial killers so homosexual prison guards can enjoy giving them rectal body cavity searches may appeal to you for some reason, but it's not your butt. Get your nose out of other people's family values, twinkles. Abolish public schools and home school kids.

[rdoetjes]

I am not against a correctional flogging.

I do think that it should be the final resort much like jail is for adults.

Every normal kid will have been spanked or had a slap in the face when you went WAY over board. It happened to me only a handful of times and therefore it really worked!

[derail14]

I seen a lot of paddlings esp in 9th grade jr high, some of the teachers seemed to like doing it too, PREVERTS?? and some would paddle in a fit of anger, Do that to a animal and you will get arrested but its ok in some states to hit school kids esp in the good ole redneck south.

[mickey3348]

I don't agree with this, first, because I know teachers can invent any silly reason to hit, or sometimes they just hit students because they are angry, so they abuse. Secondly, I wouldn't like a stranger touching my child's buttocks, I mean, what kind of discipline is that? What if the person is a pervert? Thank Goodness this practice doesn't exist in my country.

[generalcrash777]

I agree with you 100 percent. In fact you're right, who knows what goes on in the mind of the paddler, is he mentally ill, racist, homophobic, a pervert, who can know. You brought up a good point, in the state of Texas and other states where paddling is legal, they can secretly video tape spankings and it is perfectly legal. All one has to do to make pornography is to play the discipline or safety card, not call it porn and what do you know, cheap porn to hand out or sell.

[2michaelwilson]

i goted spanked four times in two years back in 1981-1983 and my parents agreed with the principal because i admit it i was mean and swaering at people

[BringBackCaning]

Proverbs 22:8 He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed. Proverbs 22:15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child: the rod of discipline drives it far from him.

[CrazyCaz469]

Children should be aloud to learn in a safe environment. They shouldnt be hit. If children get paddled in schools then adults should get paddled at work. Children should have the same rights as adults.

[generalcrash777]

How about this:

If children can get hit, dogs should also get hit when they misbehave. Guess what, it's a crime to hit a dog. How do you feel in the USA a dog has more rights than a dog? You can't also hit a murderer, drunk driver, rapist, anyother criminal, soldier, or even your spouse. The arguement used for corporal punishment of children are the same excuses that abusive husbands use to keep wife beating legal.

[CrazyCaz469]

well the world is messed up isnt it.

[Tbc11827]

Give me a break! That is what is wrong with kids today! There needs to be more paddling and corporal punishment. Obviously not in a continous manner. However, a few swats does not hurt anyone! I was paddled my friends were paddled. It has done nothing to us. We see kids out there that say nothing is going to happen to , I will just get grounded. Think back to when this was used more in schools and the we didn't have alot of the crap we do now.

[generalcrash777]

There needs to be more paddling and corporal punishment:

Do you know what's going through the mind of the person swinging the paddle. Does he/she have a spanking fetish, sedistic, mentally ill, no one can tell. Also, if children need it more, why then has science said the contrary. Even with that all set aside, I will give you a chance to prove your case. Give me 1 peer reviewed article that shows that corporal punishment does not have the side effects that science seems to bellow out. Just 1.

[generalcrash777]

My friends and I were paddled and we turned out okay:

People smoke and don't get lung cancer, people drive in cars without seatbelts and turn out okay, people ride bikes without helmets and turn out okay. People were molested as children and turn out okay, go ask Oprah how she turned out. Finally, people use to paint there houses with lead-base paint and they turned out fine and kids use to play on monkey bars over cement, some even fell and they turned out fine too.

[generalcrash777]

It's not about turning out okay. If it was, then I guess child molestation would be okay too. Go ask Oprah how she turned out because of it. Also, good thing we have more than grounding, and having a spanking fest to discipline students. Google this:

Positive Discipline.

[rkzenrage]

It is battery pure and simple

[generalcrash777]

Agreed!

School Paddling is Legalized Child Abuse!

[jasonhdvideoman]

i m with you i got my but paddleing year a go here in cocoa florida they did even call and ask my mom frist be for they did it

[guidav123]

im curious,what would they have done to you if you refused to allow them to spank you ? why not see next time and when they really hurt you sue them the school,teacher and state.

[jkingsmill]

Obviously not up to speed on your education law. No one has ever won a case against the school on corporal punishment.

[guidav123]

yeah but im sure if a child resisted enough that the teacher tried to force the child to cooperate to such an extint that the child got a broken bone or something, surely any judge in there right mind would not side with the school. if they did it would just be further proof that the system is corrupt beyond hope.

[generalcrash777]

Hey, it's me again. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case type in

nospank. net/n-b47

Even when it is consider abusive, each and everytime, the court has sided with the school. We have a story of a girl who was paralyzed because the paddle miss and she can't sue at all because it doesn't shock the concious of the court.

That's the key.

[guidav123]

well the same courts that side with the school are the same courts that legallized it in the first place. THe system is definitly flawed and corrupt. If my child was hit or especially injured at school i would stop at nothing, i would take it all the way to the supreme court if needed.

[mickey3348]

Seriously? What's wrong with USA??

[generalcrash777]

@mickey3348

I would tell you what's wrong with the USA if I knew. I guess they have made a choice to abuse certain children by design, minorities, disabled, and GLBT children included.

[mickey3348]

It's sad an unfair. And yeah, about your other comment, It has already happened. Actually I found a video about that of a girl being paddled, and all the comments were from perverts. It's nice that somebody agrees with me, well I have to go now, have a nice day!!

[mickey3348]

They paddle students in Florida? That's weird, my cousins study in Florida and they have never said anything. Well, they are inmigrants. You think that has something to do with that?

[IanVictorian]

Jimmy, over forty thousand kids were paddled in Texas in 2007. Check out my latest videos, I think Obama needs to abolish this heinous child abuse - RIGHT NOW. Our tax dollars pay the salaries of adult staff beating our kids.

[jkingsmill]

First of all IanVictorian, YOUR tax dollars unless you live in Texas doesn't pay for education. The amount of $ the federal gov't gives to education is miniscule. It's the property taxes of the area which pay for it. If the tax payers of that state/area support paddling its not yours and esecially not Obama's business what we do here. I really can't stand liberals. Liberal stands for Lets

Invade and

Belittle

Everyone's

Rights

And

Life

Socialistically

[guidav123]

im a conservative and i am for everyones rights and that includes childrens right to a safe and non-violent existence just like adults have. i hate idiots that try to make everyone that is anti-spanking into be a liveral , the same thing use to be said about those wanting to ban wife beating.

[mrcrazydudeful]

@guidav123 I agree! I am a strong conservative against corporal punishment!

[IanVictorian]

I just don' think strangers should be paddling children 0 if its to be done let the parents do it - other wise like the Catholic Church you are hiding molesters on the school staff.

[generalcrash777]

Sorry to say, but this is a human rights issue. You can get more educated in psychology and child development before commenting.

I challenge you to find a university in the USA that instructs it future teachers on the proper way of paddling.

Once you get educated, come back and see me.

[G4331]

I liked it.

I don't see a problem.

[generalcrash777]

They equate teasing to disrespecting, wich is a fair comparison, but they observe when they disrespect someone, they get hit and that's the tool they know rather than nonviolen actions because they feel that teachers and parents never modeled that type of behavior. As for guns, As they grow the only they know how to resolve conflicts are with violence because all the lther adult in there lives do it too.

[diuryl]

there are some vids on youtube, where they talk to some columbine school students, and the shootings in american schools by american students. seeing as most of the country's schools don't have paddling anymore, then these things should be at a complete minimum, or non-existent. i live in florida, and there was a shooting at wendy's, a kid brought some explosives to school, there was a point where almost every week there was a shooting or attempted shooting in america.......

[wunwuntew]

Trample out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored.

[IndieArtistChaz]

I'd like to thank you for this video sir. We are on the same mission to ban school CP. If you haven't yet, check out some of my videos and those of activist paula flowe here on youtube. We're petitioning the president elect to end this on a National level. As you know, this cause still needs voices. Yours is great! Thanks, Chazonator

[fitasafiddle123]

Way to Jimmy, i am with you! Hitting kids with boards is wrong! Believe it or not, children are people and they have rights too and deservet to be protected just like adults!!!!!!!

[alwrig]

You're right! We need to get rid of the paddles! Let's replace them with..say..cattle prods!!!

What? How else are the unruly kids to be kept in line? Can't let them run wild causing all sorts of mayhem...

[hindview]

is it better to spank or use a taser gun? no let kids go wild!

[bluewolverine40]

don't taze me bro LOL

[zenbrenzz]

Thanks, Jimmy..My kids are grown now, but I fought sadistic teachers, principals for many yrs. I always told them that they must be pretty dense and unimaginative, plus unenlightened if their only recourse was to hit a child.

Ask yourself how you would like someone bigger than yourself to be able to hit you if you didn't obey them.

Kids have rights, too.

I still keep up with a certain teacher's whereabouts...someday we will meet on a dark night.

[diuryl]

you're not suppose to beat the child 'till they bruise. it's not beating to kill or hurt, it's beating to teach you a lesson. obviously some people go too far. but then the child is also weak minded, and weak hearted to accept being disciplined properly. the question is not "why do we paddle them?"

it's: "WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO GET PADDLED?"

I SAY BEAT THE CHILD!!!

[farmerdude5]

I read your page, and I see you are a Christian. Spanking of ANY kind is not biblical, private message me if you would like some website links to research on this topic.

As for the practical reasons, much more school shootings occur in paddling states than in not paddling states.

As for what they have done to get paddled, what would happen if you got a lick with a paddle for everything you have done over your life?

Revenge is no way to teach children, or anyone for that matter.

[diuryl]

first of all, you should also know that i'm not american. and since i arrived here i noticed the problem with the kids here is that they are given Toooo much freedom, to do anything, then when they do something wrong, apparently it's their right. and all parents can do is talk....RIDICULOUS!!

i was spanked, my friends were spanked, my parents were spanked, heck! even most presidents say they used to get spanked. and we turned out ok. the fault is your government. i say, BEAT THE CHILD!!!

[farmerdude5]

Both my older brothers were spanked, and I was as well. They didn't turn out ok, my eldest brother is a felon and my other one is a recovering drug addict.

Most of the people I know at church were spanked or are still getting paddled at school, and they didn't turn out ok. In fact, they are the most undisciplined group of people I have ever seen.

As for freedom, what freedom should be taken away from EVERYONE in your opionion? btw I believe the spanking rate in the U.S is about 40%.

[diuryl]

well, most people i know, got spanked and they're either my best buddies, or my family members. we don't smoke, drink, or do drugs. i learnt discipline the hard way.

we would be making noise in class, and the teacher would walk in pissed-off, and he'd say, "all the boys line up, and bend over!" then he'd take his bamboo like stick, and well you know the rest. we kinda liked it though....cos we were taught that we should treat our teachers exactly like our parents.

[diuryl]

as for your brother...well that's a shame.

in my school years.....we were treated MILITARY STYLE!!! neat uniforms, the gate closes at exactly 7:15am, hair has to be neat and short, shoes polished(girls were different ofcourse), and you address your teachers as "sir/mam". no eating in class, we took notes old school style, by writting, we were rarely given copied notes. we didn't go to school and work at the same time, all we focused on at the time was school, and getting good grades.

[generalcrash777]

You're living in a time, far far away.

For one, you're comparing the culture you studied in to here and that's not fair because people act differently here.

2. If I did that to my dog, I'd been in jail for animal abuse.

3. If I did that to an adult, I'd been in jail for attempted murder.

Here, adults cannot hit other adults and it's the law.

What I can't get is why kids are less human than adults or dogs. Can anyone enlighten me?

[diuryl]

hitting dogs is also not allowed in my country, or hitting another adult.

the entire concept of spanking the child is understood very differently between our cultures. but evidently, seeing as in our culture we've got less kids participating in criminal activities, then i guess our concept of child spanking is correct.

[generalcrash777]

BTW, where did you go to school?

Fortunately, I live in California and corporal punishment is banned in any school public or private. I don't remember since that banned took place that a school shooting has taken place. For a state like Colorado, where paddleing is legal, I can think of a shooting, coombine and in Tenesee, a student brought a gun to school, one day removed from being paddled. So, your claim is incorrect.

[diuryl]

i also think it's a culture. cos where i'm from corporal punishment isn't allowed either, but it can be used as a last resort of punishment. usually in high school they don't hit kids, cos we're too old, and we should be more responisble at that age. the only time we get spanked is when we're younger. and if it does affect kids negatively when they get older, then that's wrong aswell. cos we've never had a shootong at school, or anything like that. so i think it's culture aswell.

[generalcrash777]

Also, you just answered my question. You think Dogs deserve more rights than children who cannot defend themselves. That's disturbing. That are better ways to solve disputes. I never thought we would something simple with violence.

Also, what do you say if teachers abuse this power? Students have died of this.

But that's fine, that you see a dog to be more human than a child.

[diuryl]

not at all. indeed there are better ways to solve disputes. in my eyes i don't think trying to discipline a 5 year old by discussing the problem would help. when my sisters daughter was much younger she used to get a smack now and then. you can't reason with a child so young.

also, in school, spanking is not to hurt the child or injure them. if there are injuries then obviously the teacher went too far. i'm shocked to hear that kids actually die from this, but in my culture it's different.

[generalcrash777]

I respect that answer. I came from a culture that accepts this form of discipline. My mind change after I took a critical thinking class and an intro to child development class. If you do some research, you can see that there is some good with smacking like immediate compliance, but the long term effects are the things that turn me off to this form of discipline.

[generalcrash777]

One thing it teaches is that if a child observes behavior that shows disrespect to him/her, they will think to themselves, "If I do this to my parents or teacher I would get smacked. I don't like his/her behavior towards me. My parents and teachers would smack me and they think it's okay. So, it must be okay." In psych, this is called modeling. This means parents are modeling certain behaviors to there children like hitting.

[generalcrash777]

continued:

If you display hitting is okay because you do it, the kids will catch on and they will it's okay too and will exhibit that same behavior to other kids or you. Children are very smart and can figure it out. I know, it will all come down to culture. You grew up in that culture and I did too. I totally understand. It's what you were tought. Yes people have died. In this country, teachers can abuse that power and that's what's disturbing to me.

[generalcrash777]

Teachers will come up with a silly reason why to paddle, such as, they failed a test. If that's a problem, offer help to the student, you don't know why they fail, maybe they didn't study but you don't know if they were struggling. As for the abuse, if you did some research on corporal punishment, you can tell that black boys are more likely to be paddled than white boys. Sometimes it can result in death because of excessive force. Kids have had to be rushed to the ER, some students can't walk.

[diuryl]

wow!!1 even in the ER? i know it's not funny but......jeez.....where in america is this? where on the body to the hit? and why so hard? the point is not to hurt but to punish.......at least that's what i thought.....

[generalcrash777]

Kids can't walk anymore because instead of hitting them on the butt, they got the tail bone or l-spine, emmediately paralyzing them. Sometimes it's an accident, but one accident like this is one to many in my oppinion. Sometimes, they just want to get there anger out. If you think the mentally challenged are excepted, you are wrong. That's what's disturbing because I'm visually impair and I can get paddled for something I have no control over and I think that's unfair.

[generalcrash777]

What I think, possitive reenforcement should be applied and you can do it with any child. Children need to know that whatever behavior they display, there will be consiquences, good or bad. It's about accountability and not displaying violence. It could be as simple as saying, "I'm proud you did your best on that test and got an A." With a younger kid, I just ignore them. They misbehave because they will attract attention, but you have to show that it isn't cute and unwanted. look it it up.

[diuryl]

i get the part of telling the child "well done" when they've done something good. but you see in my culture, i've seen alot of kids that are very spoiled and disrespectfull, because all the parents do to them is talk. after saying they won't do it, they go do it again, and again, and again. and when spanked they'll never do it again. i think spanking is good, and does help but only after some verbal warnings. if it goes too far then in my opinion i think spanking will do the job.

[diuryl]

some kids just don't listen to words, they listen to physical action.

i only saw a teacher hit a child once for failing a test. but that reason is very stupid. and it didn't last very long. i want to know why in america, when kids get spanked, they come to school and start killing people. but in my country when we get spanked, no one has ever brought a gun to school, ever. i've gotten spanked many, many times at school, but never did i think of bringing a gun to school.

[generalcrash777]

Yes, it's to punish, but it's discrimation because of race and that's a fact also against students with special needs. There was a video I saw of a teacher hitting a student for not studying his reading list. It so happens that he was mentally challenge and didn't know all the letters of the alphabet.That's disgusting at many levels in my oppinion. Yes, it's to punish, but teachers always find a way to abuse that right.

[generalcrash777]

Sometimes it's just projection of the teacher's anger and that's how they abuse it. For example, if a female teacher just got dumped by her BF, one can say she is fustrated, so, she realizes that she has the right to hit kids at school and lo and behold, she sees a couple in the hall and a girl gives her BF a kiss good-bye because they are going to class. There's her chance to project it on the male. So, she gives a really silly reason to hit. I agree, there are reasons that are valid.

[generalcrash777]

However, excuses like this really ruins the integrity of discipline and that's why I'm against it in schools.Like I said, I would not let a stranger lay a hand on my child. As for the gun issue. It comes back to modeling and projection.If children learn that spanking is a way toward off unwanted behavior, they can equate it to:

I don't like how he's behaving, my parents and teacher hit me and they think it's okay, so it must be okay. You may think it's extreme, but this is how kids reason.

[diuryl]

but other people say it's because of all the violence that's on t.v these days, and that's why american kids are so "violent". but we watch the same shows and movies in my country and our kids don't react like that. like i said, i was spanked...or more like beaten(lol) when i was a kid. now when i'm all grown up, i understand why, and i know what is and isn't acceptable. so i just want to know what's the deal with american kids? cos i'm really starting to doubt it's corporal punishment.

[generalcrash777]

I agree with that comment, and it's modeling again, if they see a fight on TV, the will reinact it. Same things goes with parents. If they exhibit good possitive behavior, children will feed off it. But it is a combination of the two in my oppinion. Yes, It's culture, I was in a school for 1 year that allows corporal punishment and I live here in california, so the idea sounded so foreign to me because we went out of the country. Your culture embraces that type of discipline

[diuryl]

.....in my country we also have places where they sell guns, and we watch the same movies, we get hit at school(only if necessary). but we don't have kids that go to school and start shooting. why is such behaviour so common in the U.S, or U.K perhaps? like i said i'm really strating to doubt that it's the paddling or spankings, i think it's something completely different.

and not only shooting in schools, but in public places. there was also a shooting at a bus stop.....OF ALL PLACES!!

[generalcrash777]

Like I said, it's the combination of the two. I know someone that got locked up for life because he thought he was in the game GTA and started killing everyone in his path. I also heard that a person tried to immitate someone on the matrix and he's locked up too, but you have the select few that feel that violence is the only to resolve things because the adults in there lives exhibit violent behavior like paddling and some students feel the need to get even.

[generalcrash777]

This arguement will just go in circles. It's not your fault, but it's the nature of something like this. The question that's going to be asked when people debate is:

I can't hit my dog, adults can't hit other adults, children can't hit other children, so why is adults hitting children an exception of the rule?

In my humble oppinion, I believe that good kids/students always starts with the teacher. If she appeals to fear, then her students will fear her.

[diuryl]

i don't believe teachers should hit kids/students if their parents don't do it themselves. but from what i've seen that rarely happens, usually it's the kids that get spanked at home that get spanked at school too. shepards/herders hit(not to injure or kill) their animals to get them in line or to guide them. adults can't hit each other(unless it's a boxing/ufc match), cos other wise it's assault. but like i said sometimes children listen to "physical talking" a little more than verbal talking.

[generalcrash777]

but if he/she gives the impression, "I respect you, your bodies and mind." He/she will start to gain the respect of the students. I believe that good behavior leads to good behavior. I mean that if parents exhibit good behavior like solving conflict nonviolently, then kids will listen. I don't think spanking is the entire problem, but I don't think it's helping. If adults spank kids, I think it just sends the wrong message that it's okay to solve conflict with hitting.

[diuryl]

i just think spanking should be used if all other options run out. we were also treated with alot of respect, and still respect my teachers till this day. but like i said.....corporal punishment in my country should be used unless it's really necessary........but i don't think it's completely wrong.

[generalcrash777]

We have all heard of role models, I think in my humble oppinion that parents and teachers need to learn to be better roll models. If kids and adults alike come together to say, violence is not okay and it goes both ways, then start to mend the crack between the two. I understand it comes down to culture. I agree some embrace this form of discipline, like my parents, but some don't. I think we need to find more tools for teachers to aid them so they don't have to resort to this.

[generalcrash777]

To close, It was an honor to argue with you. You brought up good poins that I will look in to and I hope you can look up why people are opposed to spanking. I hope to run into you in the future and we can debate on another topic.

Good luck to you

The General

[bluewolverine40]

yea and some group from la la land shouldn't tell a another state who can and cant paddle there kids this should be too the individual school and parent.

[diuryl]

well all you need to do is look at the youh in your country today. and most of them are like that because you say paddling is "wrong". oh, well, it's your country, if you're happy with the way kids behave these days, then whatever.......

[IanVictorian]

Diuryl, you can blame their parents too. Don't blame me, I'm not even allowed to marry much less raise some future heterosexual.

[diuryl]

IANVICTORIAN.

* really? why?

[IanVictorian]

Its not Armenian if that's what you're wondering :-)

[diuryl]

HM?

[IanVictorian]

huh?

[diuryl]

"Its not Armenian if that's what you're wondering :-) "

* well this is what you sent me. i'm asking why?

[IanVictorian]

Some think the Victorian is Armenian but it isn't. Its a made up name like my drag name.

[diuryl]

i see......

[howdoiquityou2006]

i think its higher there just not done out in the open

[howdoiquityou2006]

YEA !!! i dont  if anyone seen the duracell comercial where that kid wonders off and she grabs this device that tracks him down she uses durcell he come walzing back she hugs him i would hug him but i would wisper YOUR GETTING YOUR BUTT BUSTED WHEN YOU GET HOME BOY!!

[diuryl]

lol!!

[Edwin572]

Hats off to you Jimmy for getting the paddle out of Houston Schools. I live in Canada where corporal punishment is illegal in all schools, public and private. In the city where I live, corporal punishment left the schools in 1983 and since then there have been no school shootings and no police officer has died in the line of duty. It's too bad that some parts of the USA still have a backwoods mentality and have trouble handling the truth.

[billybassman21]

The parents have the option to opt out. It you as a parent don't want your kid getting paddle you don't have to allow it. however some parents want it as a option and they should be able to. You would be surprised how many parents are for paddling in schools.

[sansevieriafilms]

Actually, the parents don't always have the option. In some states schools can paddle even if the parents requested exemption. Just do a google search on Peggy Dean in North Carolina...

If parents want to spank, for now it is their option to do that in the home, even though I do not agree with it. There is no need for schools to do it.

[baytowntxguy]

Paddling is NOT child abuse. They need to do more of it. When I was in school kids were respectful and minded. I teach school and kids are out of control. ISS, suspension, alternative school DOES NOT WORK. Somoeone needs to take that board and knock some sense into you!

[sansevieriafilms]

Folks, this is how pro-paddlers resort problems. By saying we need to paddle anyone who even thinks differently from them.

[TheStarTreker]

Hell yes it is abusive and cruel, it's just evil. It is just totally wrong. I don't believe in it or support it. There are better ways to discipline children than hitting them. It doesn't teach you nothing or respect it just teaches you violence. Like bunch of Christian families think that the Bible says corporal punishment helps kids to do the right thing. That is just bullshit. I don't remember it saying that.

[TheStarTreker]

My grandparents believe in it but I don't. My parents used to do it too but not anymore.

[farmerdude5]

That is due to bad parenting, not the lack of getting hit with a board.

If you think things are out of control where you live, you should come teach school in north carolina, or any paddling state school. Kids punch teachers, cuss them out, and, in some paddling states, shoot everyone in the school.

As for respect and mindfulness, if you said what you said on the first day of school and I was your student, I would have no respect for you. continued in next post...

[farmerdude5]

Continued from previous post- respect must be earned, and, as for courteousy, if you do not show people courteousy then do not expect it in return.

You are impatentient, the only reason you seem to think that the KIDS have the problem is because everywhere you go, you get what you give.

[diuryl]

not even chewing gum was allowed. we were not taught, to fear the teachers, but to have to have great respect for them. sometimes we wouldn't understand when we got punished but eventually we understood. and i miss my teachers, and i have alot of respect for them till this day. it wasn't a military school, but in my country, that's how schools operate. here there's no uniform, kids eat in class, the talking back to teachers is way over the top, they work and go to school at the same time....

[diuryl]

....which gives the impression that school isn't as imporatnt as work sometimes(but it helps the economy though). no one ever brought a gun to my school, or a knife. if kids had beef they'll sort it out outside school, but they won't kill each other. school was for learning that's it, period!!

academics came first, sport and other stuff came later. here kids are allowed to go to a drama class, or football team meeting, and they leave their history or geography classes...unaccpetable!!!!

[bluewolverine40]

there should be a flag on here for stupidity

[sansevieriafilms]

OK, Consider yourself flagged.

[bluewolverine40]

CONTINUING: or is afraid too do doll out the discipline for fear that they will loose everything from lawsuits if you carry out the paddling by the law there should be no lawsuit even filed in court.

Hi, Jimmy, very good simple video. Sad that people such as spanker 30, an obvious spanking fetish enthusias, has to ruin it for people who really want to stop the abusivenss towards children. Spanking has no place in education, nor does it in homes. Wish ALL parents would be REQUIRED to attend a parenting class b4 allowed to become a parent. Thanks for posting this, Jimmy, and best of luck on future endeavors!

[spanker30]

It is probably safe to assume hat Harmonyunitd was never spanked as a child so like the rest of the Antispanking Dogooders knows nothing at all about the subject they are preaching about. Do NOT give opinions when they are utter SHITE !!

[sansevieriafilms]

Listen to this...typical pro-spanker speaking out against freedom of speech when it doesn't work out in their favor by saying opinions "Do NOT give opinions"...

If you have a problem with freedom of speech, get out of America. If you're already out of America, stay out.

[diuryl]

good one!!!! ha, ha, ha, haa!!!!!!

[harmonyunltd]

I was spanked 'spanker 30', but was fortunate to grow beyond the brainwashed shackles of early childhood. Before I grew up, I, like you, had been orientated to accept that parents are justified in hitting their children when they see fit.... then I began to learn and evolve beyond such antiquated and inhumane thinking.

[elainenz]

HORRAY for Jimmytxred! This is indeed someone who has common sense knowing that spanking IS child abuse!!

[harmonyunltd]

The spanking environment is known to produce long-term anger issues in children (among other problems). It's probably safe to presume that 'spanker 30' was spanked as a child. I commonly see this type of crass anger displayed on the part of pro-spankers (who were invariably spanked as children themselves).

[spanker30]

Idiot, I am not a dude !! And from your "NAME " -you are either a pathetic excuse for a real man or a bitch who enjoys harming men so NO paddling has obviously made you the way you are !! I rest my case !Paddle and spank as much as possible !!

[bluewolverine40]

how come school violence has increased as the "paddling of the ASS has decreased hmmmm.....???? everyday your hearing kids about too obliterated a school we have relented our schools too the SRO so that administration and teachers doesn't have too doll the discipline a thumb up for spanker 30

[farmerdude5]

actually, about 20% more school shootings occor IN padddling states. Get your facts straight before you make a claim like that.

[bluewolverine40]

THAT'S COMPLETE BULLSHIT !!!!!!!

[MalfoyFemDom]

Jimmy Dunne, you are a hero of mine. Children are entitled to the same human rights as are everyone else.

And I come from a non-paddling state. Our high school is considered one of the best in the nation. Very low drop-out rate, very few fights, weapons, or drugs and students are well-prepared for adult life.

[spanker30]

You are the bigger freak. You need a good spanking yourself and I would be willing to give it. You have no idea what life is all about so get real !

[MalfoyFemDom]

Dude, who do you think you're fooling? Your channel is loaded with pornographic spanking videos. It's obvious that you only support spanking to satisfy your own desires and it has nothing to do witht children's behavior or performance.

Yes, I am very interested in spanking and BDSM myself, but as a responsible, humane, ethical adult, I would NEVER involve a child or unconsenting person, especially without their knowledge.

[USoldOutCanadians]

beating kids is child abuse and anyone who says different is a freak of nature

[spanker30]

Razienski - you are a typical american moron who does not realise that the reduction in corporal punishment is the main reason that kids now run wild !! Anybody can make statistics read the way they want but anybody with an ounce of common sense ( which excludes you ! ) knows that kids USED to respect teachers and parents and now DO NOT ! so shut the fuck up !!!

[Fokaneemoo]

why is it that so many people oppose corporal punishment in prisons yet believe corporal punishment toward children is exceptable?

[ThumperBunny43]

Hitting a child with a wooden board is totally barbaric!!! All industrialized countries ban hitting schoolkids except the US. This shouldn't be happening in schools. It obviously doesn't even work since the same students get hit over & over. And it's racist since black kids get hit more than whites. States that have banned hitting kids with boards actually have better scholastic scores and lower crime rates. It's not rocket science: banning paddles makes better schools and less violence.

[rezlenski]

Congratulation on your great work, Jim.

Ignore the idiocy of people like Spanker30 who are likely fetishists who can't separate their sexual fantasies from the reality of school child abuse. There is no evidence that paddling children solves any school problem and plenty of evidence that it creates much. School shooting often occur in paddling states and if you do the research you can find that many of the shooters were paddled in school, some as recently as the day before the shooting.

[spanker30]

Complete crap !! Keep paddling and spanking ! They deserve it !!

[blondemax]

Id probaly benefit from you paddling me

[Juliaflo]

You are a MENTAL CASE.

[mollyizfierce]

Educators should not be in the business of abusing children. Hitting another human being with a wooden board is also known as "assault with a deadly weapon" in any other walk of life. When the educated sector of a community is promoting child abuse, one shudders to think what the uneducated people are doing. Corporal punishment should be banned in all 50 states.

[Juliaflo]

YOU SAID IT!
