Reading some of the threads and comments here over the past couple of days has made me think putting the strap back into schools would be a good thing.

What do you think?

Strap?

We work in the dark to serve the light.

Why would I give a teacher one of those? EEW!

Maybe, but no fear of getting beaten doesn't seem to be working too well.

We have kids on here that actually belive the world is going to end tomorrow. Maybe the strap wouldn't make them smarter, but at least if you were strapping them it would be easier to tolerate being in their presence.

  • 12.20.2012 6:49 PM PDT

A strap*on? That'll teach em.

I know, right?
Jay acts like she's better than everyone else simply because she's a chick.
I hope she chokes to death.

I work at a school. As tempting as it is to indulge in a little "what-if" when a student is playing up, the truth is that bad attitudes start at home. The true solution to kids' discipline problems is for their parents to step in and provide positive role models and reinforcement of good behaviours. It's not really a school's place to enforce that kind of discipline.

I'm strongly in favour of parents using light corporal punishment as part of the disciplinary process, however.

Having a brief stint in the classroom, I can say that some of these kids are so far gone only the threat of violence out of an adult will get them to respond. Bare ass spankings for everyone!

Education is the answer, not corporal punishment. You don't learn anything by being beaten, you just learn what not to do.

Not sure what canadia is but I like to lol too.

Nothing comes up when I search for that word. Kids who make up words that don't exist should be the first ones to be strapped.

Your parents obviously never spanked you. My parents regularly spanked me whenever I misbehaved, and I've turned out to be a well rounded individual. I would say that I learned right from wrong a lot quicker than most people. It worked very well for me.

I'm not sure.

If communists are in favor of strapping dumb kids then maybe I am.

If we're not going to strap them, at least lets do experiments on their brains to see if something can be done.
