My dad was a teacher here in Australia back when the paddle was accepted. Even though he could've used it for years, he never had to. Just the threat of it being on the wall, being able to point to it and say if you dont straighten out you'll get that was enough to get kids to behave. However, not all teachers will be my dad. When it comes to things like this, it's important to minimise the potential for authority figures (teachers have authority over your kids for a mojority of their day) to abuse their position and cause more harm than they need to. We leave it up to the teacher and the classroom to decide when the paddle should be used, so any teacher could get it wrong, have an off day, or just really want to take their anger out with the paddle. A child won't always know when their rights are being breached; many are quiet and won't speak to their parents or other teachers about anything, even if the punishment they received was unfair. How would they know whats fair? Think how often people don't know a child is being bullied until it's too late; now the bully is the teacher. Of course that's only a possibility, and it's hard when some shitty kids would seem to only respond to a force that makes them fear pain, but we can't always trust people in positions of power to not abuse that power at some point. It's not worth the other kids in that classroom being exposed to that same fear, especially with what we know of mental illnesses being on the rise. The harm of it being used today could be untold, compared to when it was used in the past.

If I one ever found out someone laid their hands on my child god help them cause the Lord Himself would not stop me from ripping this person throat out in defense of my child. It is up to me and me only to discipline my child. I do not believe in corporal punishment for it is abusive. Two, if I ever found out a school was behind abusing children in such a manner especially since my child is autistic, and there have been horror stories behind that of things like using electrical shock. I would personally see the school suffer if not set the place on fire. Now I realize this may get a lot of bad feedback, however, it is how I feel it is my personal opinion for NOONE and I mean NO ONE has a right to lay their hands on my kid in any way and I hope more parents feel this way for our society has become so lax in how they care about their own kids. Which if you fall into that category I feel sorry for you. I use the takeaway method to straighten out behavior not hitting. After all then why do we teach them never to lay their hands on others? Why do we teach stop bullying if we use corporal punishment as a form of discipline. rather hypocritical don't ya think?

Interesting that Botham Jean had several noise complaints made against him. One concludes previous noise complaints were not taken care of effectively. I wonder if Officer Amber was so tired as a result of the noise that she honestly made the mistake of shooting Botham; sleep deprivation has a major effect on a person's well being and could easily result in such an act that might otherwise be interpreted as vengeful. Being an officer of the law she was no doubt working shifts and Botham's inconsiderate behavior doubtless deprived her of the sleep she needed to function effectively. Let's face it, no one simply decides to shoot someone and, in doing so, ruining their own life, unless they are either driven to it or are criminal; in this case, it would seem the victim, officer Amber, was driven to it. As a juror, I would have to give her the benefit of the doubt. Noise complaints need to be taken seriously and dealt with firmly; disturbing other people is not to be taken lightly, as this case clearly shows. Oh, hang on a minute, he was black, well that changes everything. NOT Humans, consider your neighbors or suffer the consequences.

I think this is the ONLY time I've ever disagreed with you, but I think schools SHOULD BRING BACK CORPORAL PUNISHMENT. Your kids are still very young, but hopefully you'll never have to deal with what teachers deal with day to day. Most kids have 0 respect and 0 fear of any current disciplinary actions in place in any of the schools I've ever worked in. In fact, most current punishments are actually rewards to kids - safe space, game time to calm down, suspensions (super rare, expulsions (I've seen 1 in the past 4 years - contracted with about 10 schools in that time-, despite breaking up fights and witnessing kids insult and curse at teachers. Spanking shouldn't be the go-to punishment, but it should be on the table. (Background on me, I had abusive dads - step dad was okay until he lost his temper, 1-4x/wk, and my dad mostly abused my siblings cuz I was the smart one. I still think spanking definitely works. So does my sister, who usually got the worst of it)

Physically harming a child and discipline are two very different thing. I personally was not a child who ever got spanked not because it wasnt believed in but because I didnt really need it (ok, I got spanked once and thats all it took for me to learn) as well as my own son, has never done anything to need that level of attitude adjustment. But my personal opinion is if my son was corrected multiple times, I was notified of this more then once (I'm assuming the first I were to hear of the misbehaving is before the call notifying me of the licks) I think just maybe it would set him straight. At least I would hope so. Of course every circumstance is different as well as child. But of course things should be well regulated and respected and not abused in any way.

I just turned twenty-three a few days ago and I've moved twenty-two times. One of the first schools I went to in Texas (I was also born in Texas, spent about a third of my life there) sent a letter home to my parents that asked for consent to paddle my sister and I should we misbehave. My father thought it was very normal and said so, but opted out because he spanked us at home and hit a lot harder than a teacher with a paddle ever would. Which is why he was also unconcerned about us misbehaving. I was kind of surprised that it was enough of a story for you to report. I always assumed it was a normal thing that took place in enough school districts that people would be aware of it. I've always disliked the whole idea, personally.

On corporal punishment: We had paddles when I grew up. I never got paddled, but, it was definitely a deterrent. I agree with it. I also agree with spanking as an option, however, not the first option. The main problem I feel we have in our current society, is the lack of respect for adults, parents, teachers, law enforcement, etc. This is learned & taught, in some situations, by not paying attention to our kids (thus they are teaching themselves) & sometimes I feel intentionally. Either way, we have an issue with how we rear or decline to rear our kids as a whole. We can't expect our teachers to teach unruly, disrespectful kids successfully every time. All parents need to step up & take some responsibility in raising their kids.

At first the train thing sounded pointless and the NRA was being nitpicky but yeah they do kind of have a point. They had to paint her like a dashiki so we'd know she's black since they're all grey. It is pretty weird. I don't care about the diversity, it's the laziness that bothers me. Instead of making her a African train they could have made her an African train, IE a model that was actually in use in Africa (with an accent)Apparently the Nairobi Railway Museum contains the no. 87 Karamoja, of the few surviving locomotives from the East African Railways, they could have made her an expy of that. As for the other trains, yeah and they're based on real trains. Even Rajiv.

RE Georgia school: I was an absolute brat as a kid and there were times when a good smack was the only way to teach me not to do whatever I did. It was only used as a last resort or if it was a heinous enough act to be deserved, and always came with an explanation of why my actions were wrong. I just responded better to being punished for wrongdoing than rewarded for good behaviour. It taught me that 'good behaviour' should be the norm, not something special deserving of reward. That said, every kid is different and it's up to the parents to decide how to discipline their children, but physical discipline should _only_ be done by the parents of a child.
