Okay, so this video consists of some actors saying "der I was hit and the kids were better back than" rubbish that is dis-proven over and over again. Then we have surveys of what people think, well that's great. The majority of the population (in the us) though it was okay to own slaves at one point. They also thought it okay to hit their wives. Of course only in moderation and to keep them in line.

Assault on children needs to stop now.

After thousands of years it behooves me that people still take the easy way out and hit each other to solve their problems. If a teacher has to resort to hitting kids, its probably because you have a bad fucking teacher. Find a teacher who can make the kids laugh and learn at the same time and problem solved. Corporal punishment is a joke.

@Ryandidenow it behooves you? you mean it AMAZES you perhaps? to "behove" means to do that which is RIGHT.

@lumpfish99 Was a teacher's aide then I was a substitute for a low income and then a high income school and decided I hated it and the school system lol

@UnschoolingEagle are you a teacher?

@UnschoolingEagle In International schools the 'punishment' is detention, and detention is (wait for it): extra academic work. YES~! Reading more books and doing more homework, on-the-spot, is THE ultimate form of punishment, and it works. For those who simply don't comply, they get suspended from the school and their parents have to deal with them at home. This works nicely because those parents don't want them around, so encourage them to do better in school!

@MarineAqua45 Wrong. Wanna-be gangsta-types don't fear anything unless it's bigger than them, and that doesn't fit the profile of a teacher. It might fit the profile of a police officer, but not a teacher. These morons ~SHOULD~ be disciplined by whatever ilk produced them, but sadly that's by far not the case. So who disciplines them now? Well teachers do -- in their own peaceful way. If reasoning doesn't work, then they will eventually face the tougher choices of life later on.

@paulinotou Again, that's a failing on part of their parents. Schools have no time to baby-sit these people, nor is it their duty to do so. If the parents had been carrying out their parenting responsibilities, those kids wouldn't be out on the streets in the first place. Parents have more rights (and responsibilities) when controlling their own kids, so it's ultimately them, not the school teachers, who should be carrying out those responsibilities.

[theanimaster]

Some people might argue that certain cretins deserve corporal punishment. Though this is certainly true, THAT is actually a fault on the parenting side. And when you read my other post -- it doesn't work for every parent. Instead parents should talk more with their kids to set them right. Gently and sensibly. Take the time, don't go for 'quick' solutions through physical violence. When that is done, we get less jerks in school whom we think deserve to get their dicks cut off.

[theanimaster]

The thing is that it may seem the 'quicker' solution to smack a kid and tell him to shut up as opposed to taking him outside and having a nice little talk. The reality is that if a kid get hit too many times, it just won't mean a thing to them anymore -- and they become 'conditioned' to take it. Of course it also depends on the kid. With my own two sons, I never hit them. I talk to them. When they're really out of line, I raise my voice but never shout at them. It works better than hitting.

[theanimaster]

I used to be PRO-corporal punishment, hey, I threw a 17kg table at a couple cunts at one point in my career (without the intention of really hitting ~them~) but as I became more and more educated in my role as a teacher, and seeing my relative beat her 4-year old girl all the time to the point the little girl thinks nothing of it now (and is even HARDER to control) -- I think physical violence just DOESN'T work.

wow corporal punishment is outlawed in England. look at those young rioters who feel entitled to everything destroying blocks of businesses and homes. and yet if the police touch them, they blow the police brutality whistle. compare that to the peaceful Occupy protest in "violent america". living in places that are for and against corporal punishment, the kids who recieve corporal punishment are by far more respectful to authority and elders.
