Hey Xena...seems to me the beginning of this was just if you bad mouth or somthing, you'll get a whipping. When did this turn into extreme cases when a person's life is on the line? OF COURSE a teacher should defend themselves in that case--it might just be worth a manslaughter charge to stay alive in these extreme situations.
On the other hand...if teachers were given the right to use corporal punishment, I know plenty of teach's who would abuse that right.
As a teacher I would not want the responsibility of doling out corporal punishment. There are children who are always troublemakers. You know who they are and you expect them to act up in class. Those kids would end up getting punished so much it would become abuse. Sometimes those kids straighten up on their own if you don't pay any attention to the misbehavior or if the whole class gets punished for the actions of a few. Peer pressure can work to get good behavior since everyone hates being punished for something only a couple of kids were doing. The punishment that works best with my students is to make them put everything away and have to stand by their desks for five minutes without talking. If I hear the slightest whisper I nail 'em on it. If they act up again after the five minute punishement then I make them stand for the rest of class with no talking, just me staring them down. It works really well when their homeroom teacher comes by the room as they are being punished because then they yell at them too. Sometimes I will let the kids who were actively particpating and obviously paying attention sit while the rest have to stand. They hate that. If they are really good for the week and we finish up everything early, I play a game instead of making them do work or we watch a video.

Very well done ChinaNiki! You seem to be a very good educated woman. i dont mean to sound harsh towards children but some of the stories my friend ( who is a teacher btw ) tells me about children misbehaving and bein rude are awful. I just consider that corporal punishment sometimes is the best solution.
Very good interesting post ChinaNiki.

Not beating Linkalicious discipline. Certain forms of punishment like ear pulling and spanking may work on children that are extremely hopeless cases.
I think if a student hits the teacher that isn't right, and first the school and parents should step in. Then if it happens again let the teacher hit them back, but what happens if they go overboard and end up beating the student. Students shouldn't hit a teacher period. And no using anything to beat students, that's just tramatizing in my opinion
I just read an article in my local channel 6 news that a kid from New Jersey was suspended from school for threatning his highly allergic teacher with a peanut butter cookie. Now you tell me if this kid doensn't deserve a sapanking! Teachers don't get paid enough to put up with kids that have no respect.
I think the kids of today need a good asskicking on occasion. I overhear them when I'm out and I weep for the future. They all seem to think that they're invincible and brilliant even though they fail to conjure even the most simplistic sentance.
Here's a good way to start corporal punishment: If a kid who old enough to identify the difference between right and wrong brings a gun in to school, and is caught, he should be shot in the face immediately.

with all the violance in schools these days. And with kids carrying guns to school it maybe a good idea to impose CP! if the kids dont have respect for teachers I highly doubt they might have it for other adults. So for me cp is just fine!
it will only make them want to hurt the ppl that imposed the corporal punishment
you cant solve violence with violence
they will just carry a gun to your home isntead 😛

Not from the teacher, for sure 😖 From the parents yes, and a heavy punishment perhaps. But since the law can't be compliant and has to be severe and absolute, corporal punishment is either allowed always or never.
I'd say never ✅

Children that behave rudely and disrespectful in schools should get a good spanking from the teacher so that the child can behave! I have a very close friend of mine that is a teacher and she tells me that some children are very offensive! She cannot take action towards them. So she sends them to the pricipals office!
I think that she should be given the right to discipline those little punks for acting like jackasses! I dont like violence but sometimes is necessary to discipline those that dont want to learn!What are your thoughts on Corporal Punishment? do you agree with my views?
I'm against it. I don't know why people think little kids should be paddled for misbehaving. And I know how moronic kids can be sometimes--trust me, I know. But I don't believe that gives us the right to cane them or paddle them... Most adults would be practically in tears after the beatings they used to give kids.
