Bring Back Corporal Punishment in Schools???

Okay... so I have a story for ya! On Thursday we had a teacher who called in sick. Her sub was just a small little Hispanic lady who seemed very nice. As other teachers from the building walked by the classroom they noticed that it was very quiet and thought, WOW! That sub has great control of the classroom. (This class is a very noisy class, and very obnoxious, and it is not the teacher's fault, they are a hard class) Anyways... We all thought "We need to have this lady come sub more often cause she really knows how to get a hold on the class." Well, the next morning a few of the kids from the class came up to their teacher and said that the sub spanked one of the boys in the class. At first she thought "Yeah Right" but then, more students told her the same thing. She finally decided that she needed to ask some of the more "reliable" kids in the class. She pulled them all separately and they looked as if they might cry as they told her what they had seen. Come to find out, the woman pulled the boy out of his chair and spanked him hard, "Like a mom would spank you if you were in trouble" said one of the students. No wonder the class was so well behaved. They were scared out of their wits! So I say if we can use corporal punishment we might just have some well behaved classes. Cause let's face it... the kids nowadays (with some exceptions of course) are disrespectful and they are "hard". We don't have the parental support that we need, the kids don't listen, a lot of them are mean. So now to finish the story... the teacher has to file a report. But, here's the sad thing, When the boy went home and told his mom that the sub spanked him, his mom just said "That wasn't very nice was it?" She didn't do anything about it! Sad huh?

That is a hard one cause you want the students to respect the teacher's but also some teacher's would take the discipline to far. I think I know this is bad to say but I think school uniforms would help out even though kids need individuality but I think it would help out the parents who can't afford clothes right now and also help kids be equals. Sorry if I miss spelled words but that is my opinion its not worth much but that's what I think! :D

Sounds like a great parent. I hate people who sue over things like that. The kid probably deserved it and I bet he learned a good lesson. I wouldn't mind if they brought back corporal punishment--as long as my kid didn't come home black and blue.
