The reason kids bring guns to school is NOT because they don't respect their teachers or they are mad at them. It has nothing to do with the teachers at all. In most cases, kids that bring weapons to school and try to, or succeed in shooting people, do it because they have been either a) abused at home or b) bullied at school. Clearly, you don't know how kid's minds work, or how the public school system works.
Noooo... If a kid brings a gun to school and starts shooting people, he should be taken to jail. Problem solved. If he were to be spanked by a teacher, that would only make him MORE angry and want to hurt the teacher more than he already did. But like I said, kids usually don't attack teachers--they attack other kids.
And there is a BIG difference between making a joke about a teacher (which is what corporal punishment was used for when it was legal, if you somehow didn't know) and attacking one. If he makes fun of one, it's against the rules. If he attacks one, it's a crime. Kids who commit true CRIMES should be treated as adults.
to add to this, teachers dont deserve respect right off the bat. Some people are pieces of crap that dont deserve respect. Everyone has to earn respect now, it just isnt freely given out.

Yes indeed. That's not to say they should physically attack a teacher... But I can hardly blame people my age for making jokes about bad teachers. And I confess that I've done it myself.
Very well put BackFire! certain punishments require phisical actions and thats what corporal punishment is about. Setting a disciplinary for youngsters is very important. if they dont respect their teachers or even their parents that means they will never respect the law! Which can be very bad for society.
Well....How you put it sounds like a bunch of BULLSH!T... because I know kids that are extremely smart.. act like jackasses...
Oh yeah and there are people that just mess up once or twice so do they deserve a beating for that? I could see ya if there a jackass everyday they do stuff really bad all the time. Then sure. But nothing worst then a spanking.
Your a dumbass aint you? Kids naturally hate doing stuff they dont want too, and most are too young when they start to realize that IT IS THEIR FUTURE. I am just now realizing that high School and how well I do in it will influencve my life, and Im an 8th grader. You sound like you nevva had a childhood...

i dont appreciate name calling LarrytheArch! As for your comment YES! i did had a childhood everyone does! I was mostly addressing school drop outs! The ones that dont care about their future or school!
If they don't care about their future, that's their own damn problem. They don't deserve to be beaten for it. And there are kids who realize the mistakes they made and decide to go back to school, WITHOUT being caned or paddled or anything...
i am american but i am living in china for a year, here in the poorest school they do hit the children and i think that sux...i mean who r they to hit other people's children though i think that some children need severe punishments, but like writing lines, or send him a lot of extra homework but only stuf like that i totally hate when the teachers hit the childre. once when i just got here i was goin' 2 teach english in one school n i saw a teacher hitting a child and i stopped the teacher and she was so ****in' mad at me but hell i didn't care then i got fired 'cause they said that i shouldn't have done that n i didn't care.
