I'm not really against paddling, but those Memphis City Schools kids will just turn around hit the teacher after being paddled.
You're probably right. Kids have to learn to respect authority figures at a young age. You can't let them run wild when younger, and then all of a sudden try to paddle them in high school. If schools are going to use paddling as punishment, it needs to start by the time the kids reach fourth grade (I was paddled in the 3rd grade.lol).
I'm serious too. Some of those kids won't think twice about knocking out an old principal. I feel really bad if they have some of females giving corporal punishment.

Very true. I don't think paddling a high school kid is going to do any good especially if you let them run wild when they were younger. I am not against paddling but I think after 6th grade some other sort of discipline needs to start. My mom paddled me when I was younger but when I got to junior high school she stopped and started taking away privileges.
Memphis schools banned corporal punishment several years ago, but now the Mayor wished to have the paddle return to this school district.
This man is looking for bigger trouble than he knows. Who does he think he is beating on children? THat is what I said "beating". It could cause his family a whole lot of grief from the public.
You can go to jail around here for spanking your kid. There are plenty of parents sitting in jail from trying to control their out of control children.THen they say it is the parents fault because their kid is out of line. When I was little, any adult would do, if I was doing something they didn't like or thought I shouldn't be doing, they did not hesitate to reach out and touch me.But I think that is completely different than being paddled (beat) at school with a weapon.
From the sounds of it they need to get a whole new staff. They definately need to put all coaches back into the fields and courts and take them out of the ACADEMICS AND ARTS CLASSROOMS. They are half the battle here with all their brainwashing and polotics and the seperations they cause all through the k-12 public schools. That coach better stop and think who is making his paycheck. It sure ain't the administration. It is the kids. Coaches burden our k-12 public school children with their burden to draw a paycheck. If the kids don't win the coach gets put out. That is a fact.
I do understand that there is alot of violence going on everywhere, but as Superintendants and principals and academic teachers and counselors, I would think they could come up with something more intelligent than a beating with a weapon. That is no different than the streets they learn it on.

I don't understand your comment. Many coaches are highly qualified in subjects like History or English. Do you want to take them out of their classrooms?
Anyone who is interested in the topic of corporal punishment may wish to tune into the national show, Dr. Phil, this Friday, May 16th. It is entitled "Spanking Scandals", and features a variety of guests. Of particular interest may be the story involving a 12 year old child from North Carolina who was corporally punished and injured by a teacher.

I'm not used to living in an area that uses corporal punishment at schools. Is this common in North Carolina? What are the rules and are there age restrictions? I'm curious because I might be moving there. Thanks.
