Texas School District To Paddle Students as Punishment

Postby San Lumen » Sat Sep 23, 2017 8:45 am

I find this story very troubling.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nat ... 499177001/

A school district in Texas has decided to bring back paddling a from of punishment. For those who don't know paddling is using a wooden board to hit a child on the behind. The district has decided it will only be used on children whose parents have given written and verbal consent.

I find this to be very troubling. I could care less weather or not a parent has given consent. There is a reason this practice was banned in many places. Its child abuse plain and simple and parents that are signing are condoning abuse. According to the article studies have shown practices like this can have effects such as students more likely to be defiant or aggressive in the short term and in the long term can have effects on mental health.

What's your thoughts on this NSG?

Let's just get this out of the way first.

I don't disagree. Put simply this is child abuse.

I'm guessing they lost the appeal about waterboarding.

Yes, because the thing this country needs is to make kids more anxious about going to school.

General punishment and major punishment work really well though.

I vote that schools should be able to hit kids only with the parents consent and only with the agreement that the parents get double the same beating for raising a child that needs to be punished.

Hmmm, as long as it administered by one of those "Too Hot for Teacher" females and not by one of those "Helga's house of pain" types, I might be game.

Let's not be implying that it's ok for teachers to be in sexually charged situations with children, eh?

Well to be honest I was playing off of Fartsniffage's that the parents were to be also spanked.

I believe the idea is to beat the shit out of them with bats, not give them a lewd tap on the bum.

Capitalism, single-payer healthcare, pro-choice, LGBT rights, progressive personal taxation, low corporate tax, pro-business law, welfare for those in need.

Don't see why not. Nobody's ever died or become a serial killer from a few well-earned strokes across the bottom.
Freedom doesn't mean being able to do as one please, but rather not to do as one doesn't please.

A fool sees religion as the truth. A smart man sees religion as a lie. A ruler sees religion as a useful tool.

Schools really shouldn't be punishing children that's the nod of the parents. And no spanking isn't child abuse

It's not just one school district. There are actually several that allow it, mostly in the South. I was surprised when I found out there were places that still allow it. I think it's backward and stupid.
