Bringing Back Corporal Punishment

Oh yes, teachers could paddle a child if they misbehaved. It might be a good thing now, with all the bullying that goes on in school, if kids got a good paddling everytime they did it, that would be a good thing. Kids are allowed to get away with anything today. Parents don't seem to know the meaning of obedience.

It has never been used in France, although my fingers got acquainted with the ruler of an old teacher. The punishment was to stand on a corner of the classroom with a dunce cap. And I remember that corporal punishment was still in use in UK in the early 1970's, I do not know when it ended.

i think the parent should have to come to school and do it or face consequences of some sort. they had it when i was growing up where the principle or a teacher would do it in front of the class and that was embarrassing enough to stop a lot. but my kids also had that in place at school and the only one got a paddling was my oldest. once and he had bruises which made us decide to go to the school and get that teacher fired because no one should be allowed to hit your child and bruise them. thats too hard. but i do think some punishment is needed

The teachers were not allowed to touch us, they called our parents if something went wrong. I would never allow another to put a hand on my children, I must be informed and I take care to spank the kid.

I don't remember it being used at my schools (in the 1960s and 1970s). Where is this being discussed?

I can't see that being allowed these days. It wasn't when I grew up though my mother would beat our a$$es when we misbehaved. She broke many a wooden spoon on us.

During my times, the corporal punishment was there but it was scrapped off though I know it happens
