Put that on MY child and that teacher would be eating her meals via a feeding tube the rest of her fucking life!

NO teacher touches my child.Nuff said

Why were people so mean back then?

[Mascherina1964]

The teacher objected to the student returning on the grounds that it would be a signal to the others that if they wanted a three-day holiday, this was what to do.

I don't advocate the strap or caning, but students have to show respect to their elders.

Many people refuse to go into teaching because of these disciplinary problems.

Think! We may be shortchanging our kids because we're afraid of disciplining them!

[shilltheshillXXX]

@Mascherina1964 Part of "political correctness" that children have less respect of their elders. Too many cultures will not accept what WAS acceptiple to a learning institution, to the point that being "afraid" of their background makes it unaccepable to voice an opinion. In Europe it is especially ignorant, ie. Santa Claus IS "´St. Nikolas", fron the begining of Dec.!! Strange Race the Humans. Still I cannot advocate any of their plans of survival. Love them as I may. Kindergartner.

[Mascherina1964]

We've gone from one extreme to another! I don't avocate the above, but what can we do to enforce discipline nowadays?

I ask because in Montréal, there's a story that was on every teacher's lips: a student answered her cell during an exam; the teacher confiscated it; the student demanded it back; teacher said no; student threw a glass of water onto teacher's face; student's parents attack teacher for taking cellpone; student suspended for 3 days and back in teacher's class; teacher resigned.

@Mascherina1964 ". student's parents attack teacher for taking cellpone" I think it's clear where is the problem. If you don't raise your children properly, then no discipline can help

[mk2escortvan]

I think these could be used in schools now-a-days. For more severe infractions than fidgiting in class, however.

Две жопы старые. О душе пора думать, а не пакостями заниматься... на старости лет.

[newtongrace]

This is fucking disgusting. It makes me want to invent a time machine, get suited up like Arnie in Commando, travel back to a horrible Victorian classroom, kick the door in and say to the teacher "YOU! OUTSIDE! NOW!" ! ! ! !

[thewabbiteer]

I honstly look back at British History and think we were retarded, how the hell we managed to own 1/4 of the global surface is beyond me! Fucking finger stocks! what were these people thinking of?

[HojoOSanagi]

@thewabbiteer

Then you would like to know that if they didn't use the finger cuffs they would just take a cane and whip your knuckles with that. Also they would put you in a stock in the classroom or hang you from the ceiling in the "Cage". They had plenty of torture instruments for the children.

[TBAWriter]

@thewabbiteer This is exactly how Britain came to own 1/4 of the global surface. Most of the colonies were gained through enslavement and brutality.

[misterlaufeyson]

i read that they were also used on boys who were naughty at night...

[doobiesmoke15]

@misterlaufeyson What do you mean?

[scratchneck]
