The person doing the paddling should be shot.

I have now noticed the article posted on the internet is not as complete as the one in our original newspaper. It states that an educator can use corpral punishment w/o age discription with parental consent if the states ok this type of behavior. I argue the fact that as parents we can no longer swat our kids on the but but their teacher can? Am i missing something here?

A school should not be allowed to paddle/hit kids of any age.

I'm 31 and attended Catholic schools k-12 and they never paddled or hit anyone, no "paddling forms" either. Aside from suspension or detention, they simply called the parents and let them handle any additional punishment later. And this was in a red state.

The stereotypes and generalizations in this thread are absurd. I'm a straight white guy & have seen more corruption, sexism, discrimination, homophobia and hate in my several years in this blue state I'm in now. It would be silly to claim that's all because I'm in a blue state. I would provide real life examples, but that's not the topic of this thread.

In a Korean school a while back a girl used her cellphone camera to record her teacher punch her female classmate hard in the face.

The teacher took a few months unpaid leave and then went back to teaching. Americans don't have too much right to complain...

I agree things are worse in some other countries, but things can still be better here too.

but it is improper for over the age of 10, I would say

Just for the record I must say this practice of what i have described is not going on in any public state school here. This school is a charter which is not goverernd by any school districts. and E.F I agree for those men out there that want to act this way is very much appreciated, by me at least. If you dont act this way, i believe im more then capable of opening my own door and pulling out my own chair.

In California these "educators" would have been arrested and likely would end up in a jail cell with bubba. I'm afraid so many red states are so backwards it is unbelievable.

These Educators should be in jail i dont care if they come from a red state or a blue state. The girl on the other hand i question if she should be awarded any monetary value due to this.

She likely will for no other reason then those "educators" were acting in an official capacity when they inflicted pain and suffering upon the plantiff.

**Tassadar500** · January 31, 2005, 01:13

What a screwed up school.

**Mrs. Tuberski** · January 31, 2005, 01:21

In the sue happy world we live in wouldnt it be nice that one person would be in this for just the mere principle of the matter.
