Some kids act out because they are tired and trying to stay awake. How many parents let the kids stay up late after sports practice and supper? Then, the kids have to get up early because the parents have to get to work.
Children misbehave out of sadness (parent dies or there is a divorce, dad goes to jail), anger (kid is being abused in some way at home and feels safe acting out in the school, child has learning disability and feels dumb and incompetent in the classroom, is being teased). And are you implying that wanting attention is a bogus thing? Children need the guidance and caring of their parents. Any parent that thinks they can just feed and house their child and stay on the computer, cell phone, etc. is neglecting their child!
Attention is necessary, but learning that you aren't always going to get all the attention you want is a necessary part of growing up. Furthermore, if a child reasons that getting negative attention is better than none, I think that's a trade they are entitled to decide to make, and a parent ought not feel guilty about obliging them!
But the most common reason for misbehaving, even allowing for the fact that some parents have unreasonable expectations, is that misbehaving is usually easier than behaving. If that were not so, there would be no debate about forms of punishment because there would be no punishment.
Exactly. I cannot fathom a parent giving permission to begin with.
I would think before you send your child to a school such as this you would want to consider if he or she was by and large well behaved, or if the child was inclined to be unruly. Clearly, this is a school for near-angels.
The worst part of letting the teacher or principal spanking your child is, what else is going on behind those doors. Kind of creepy if the principal turns out to be someone who gets off on spanking little kids...
I don't understand why you folks are so shocked that schools have paddling. Most states down here in the south have it and 19 states overall allow it.
It's a good way to punish misbehaving students and keep them in line.
Pedophile haven for sure.
If the only fix he or she needs for his sexual urges, to spank little first graders, it can be legally done in the public schools. Wow
My son, like in said, went to kindergartens in Mississippi. They asked me if it was ok to hit him if needed. As any caring parent would do, I said no. Why on earth I allow a stranger touch/spank my child. That's absurd.

My answer to that would be, because I was spanked myself in school and thought even at the time that it was a perfectly appropriate response when I misbehaved, and I think so even more now.

I did not get beat in school and don't think it is ok for an adult stranger to beat my child.
