OKAY i just found your little channel but nothing ryhmes with orange is the name of my teachers band lmaooooo

[rhymingwithoranges]

wow, the irony

:)

I believe corporal punishment works... I had to do a paper on this and my Dad disagrees with me (him having lived through it and me purely speculating).

[rhymingwithoranges]

I am certainly not condoning corporal punishment, I don't think that does the recipient any good at all. Pain association is no the way forward I don't think. The point of this is that teachers can do their job knowing that they aren't going to get abuse left right an centre. That they have the option to use physical force if they NEED to.

[NaginiBubble]

Nevertheless, I do understand his perspective. I would add to it, though, that such a change in the laws needs to be carefully thought through and written, lest the aforementioned "loon" in my earlier comment slip through the cracks.

[NaginiBubble]

If teachers were given leeway to take certain measures in restraining their classrooms, no doubt some loon would take it too far against a disrespectful student, end up on the wrong end of a lawsuit, and still be able to hide behind a carelessly written bit of legislation that justifies their actions. Then, who's to say but them whether or not the situation merited physical intervention? Corporal punishment shouldn't have to be a slippery slope. It needs definition.

[NaginiBubble]

Physically breaking up a fight, provided no student is injured or traumatized in the act of doing so, is permitted for authority figures where I live, I'm pretty sure. The only question is how a teacher or administrator would go about applying that sort of discipline without stepping over the line, which they would have to do to be effective. The blanket laws against a teacher using a switch among other things prevent confusion in court as to what can and can't be done.

[CaytlynIsabella]

I'm not sure where i stand on this because one of the teachers at my old school tried to physically restrain a troublemaker and ended up breaking his arm :s

but on the plus side the classroom was quieter for a while :]
