Huh. According to the article, nineteen states still allow corporal punishment in school.
I remember at least one of my teachers in elementary school had a paddle hanging on the wall. I also seem to recall some kids getting smacked on the hand with a ruler. I don't recall ever receiving that type of punishment from a teacher. I was an angel. Then again, my dad would have kicked my ass at home if I'd been a trouble maker in school so maybe that had something to do with it.
You know what I find ironic? I imagine, in many of those same states, if you smack your child at home often enough, and somebody decides to report you, you're likely to get a visit from CPS. And the kids fucking KNOW it. I've talked with more than one parent (and experienced it myself) where a kid has said "I'm gonna call CPS on you....wahhhhh". They (meaning the kids) do that shit nowadays! And it really can cause a CPS visit. It's nucking futs. Heaven forbid your child has any bruises (whether or not you caused them), these brats (and I'm including my daughter when she was younger in that category) have learned somewhere that they can at least cause their parents some serious headaches over a spanking.
I was talking with a divorced mother the other day and she says her daughter is completely and totally out.of.control. The daughter is 10, she's violent, she throws things, name calls etc. Any time the mother touches her daughter, the kid threatens to call CPS. Plus this poor woman has an ex husband that is teamed up with the kid against the mom; he'd hand his daughter the phone given the opportunity.
I dunno. If I can't spank my kid at home without possible repercussions, I don't know why it's okay for the schools to do it.
Crazy.
