Corporal Punishment - Yay or Nay ?

Sean D talking about the many disruptive students that continue to be problems (and major distractions) in school systems across the country. Should various forms of Corporal Punishment be reinstated as tools to help educators regain 'the juice' in schools or should the countless bad asses be allowed to run wild and not expect any retribution (for the most part) ??

As a current HS student, I feel the need to say that some of us needed a good smack to the head when we were younger.

This guy talking is so full of shit. If I hit you with a board it is assault and it is no different if you hit a child with a board it’s still assault. This guy talks as if it is everyone’s fault but the schools and they should be able to inflict pain for their own lack of ability to teach. Hit me with a board and I will take you to school on what to never do again and if you were to strike my child I will be taking my first steps towards the electric chair.

@seand67 Also, if you look at research studies on juvenile delinquents, crime has increased at the hands of juveniles, both black and white, but mainly the white teens with no kind of discipline whatsoever. I work at a prison and the majority of the inmate population is.........you guessed it! White! It is because they have had no form of discipline within their homes or in a school setting.

@seand67 Back in 1984, corporal punishment was acceptable. I tell you, it has made me into the man that I am today. I have successfully enlisted into the U.S. Navy, prior to that, I graduated high school, & during my enlistment, I enrolled into college. It was also used in the elementary school that I attended & I did see the "paddle" on a few ocassions. If you take a look at Human Development, it is a part of the african-american culture within low SES communities, not in the white community

@crazyuncleandy No problem, and I'm also hoping for better days. Once parents stop being 'friends' with their children, the world will be a better place.

@crazyuncleandy Thanks again for your great replies. You made some great points, but "each case should be dealt with individually" would be almost impossible, as many inner city school systems don't have the funding or enough personnel to cater to each knucklehead. Unfortunately, many of today's parents aren't prepared to raise their children, and the lack of 'fundamental home training' (respect elders, etc.), spills over into the classroom(s) across the country.

@crazyuncleandy Ok, thanks for your input. Now what about all these parents that don't have any control over their disrespectful children and are quick to unleash them onto the teachers and students who are trying to learn in the classroom ? If they can't be punished or held accountable for the bad and disruptive behavior, and the parents can't or won't do anything about it, what do you suggest ? How about separating all the ignorant kids from the good ones and place them in special education ?
