Your opinion about punishment in schools!

i am currently studying education with a preschool major. for us teachers(to be), it is forbidden to punish a student in any way physical or even emotional punishment. instead of doing so, at least try to talk to the student in a way that he won't get hurt and explain to him that the reason why you are talking to him is to correct his mistakes. i can't say that punishment is correct or not, you just have to understand the background and nature of the child.if he is really hard headed then you leave the punishment to the parents.

it s should taken very seriously ..i see in news papers abt the complaints of the punishment in schools but have never seen the news abt the punishment to the management of the schools ....the case will be closed or compromised thats it ..this should be changed

I think physiacl punishment should not be encouraged, punishments like timeout or missing their favorite period is better to control kids. My son's school made him miss on lunch that I found horrible because he was really sick from hunger when he came back. I told that to the teacher to not to repeat this punishment again as its a long day and with heat child could really have a stroke or something. making him stand outside or sit in the coener is okay and children do feel that they have dome somehting wrong. thats the main point in giving any punishment.

i feel punishment should be there but not physical, it should be to an extent...thats what school is all about..

Punishment also one of learning process. Student will know that their action is correct or not. Early stage of children, they must learn as much as possible as their guideline for their future. By punishment, the teacher will guide them. If we love our children, punishment is a must if they act wrong way. What happen to student if the teacher just see the student doing wrong way....

SOME SYUDENTS REALLY DO SO MUCH MISCHEIF.THOSE STUDENTS MUST PUNISHED TO LEVEL THAT THEY CAN CHANGE THEIR BHEVAIOR. SOME COUNTRIES DIRECTING THE TEACHERS NOT TO PUNISH ,IF IT HAPPENS THEN NO USE FOR FUTURE GENRATION.

they should be minimised

I guess if those countries direct teahers not have punishment with abusive students they have to give alternate sunctions for abusive students. I myself was punished when I was still studying but I accept that because it is a part of my progress. What will happen to a school who doesn't impose any punishment even though the students are already abusive? It seems that those wrong acts of students will be tolerated if so.

i think punishment is good for fix their attitude, but the punishment must right, not depend on the ego from the teacher. if the punishment isn't allow, what for school is stand for. school is a place to "raise" kid with a knowledge and grow their attitude as well. if the student is wrong and teacher didn't punish, the student will do the same mistake i guess. teacher can give an advice to student, but punishment is also need. if the rule is exist, the punishment is exist to.

Corrective action from the teacher to put an erring child in its right perspective is always welcome. Punishment is meant to mend the student. Not to give vent to the wrath of the whimsical teachers.I know an incident,where a teacher after having a tiff with his wife,found the poor and innocent students to let his steam off. Such actions are to be dealt with iron hand.

Punishment to students is essential to get them on the right track. Misbehaviour by them will not only spoil the atmosphere of the school, it will also spoil the individual concerned. It should however be ensured that the punishmant is not fatal.

punishment in schools is important. since there should be discipline in schools, and discipline comes from fear, though there should be a limit to the level of punishment. completely banning punishment would lead to indiscipline which should be avoided.

I have no problems with disciplinarian teachers, not to extent to result into giving my child bruises, spasm, bleeding. Minor disciplinary things are OK with me, no big deal.

if they do any wrong things then teachers has to make them understand what is right and what is wrong but still they don't understand then punisment should be given & still they don't then they should be thrown out of the school... i have experienced about this even in our batch there was an student who always use to abuse girls and teachers they gave him warning then they restigated him for a week still he din't change and then teachers had last option was tht he should be removed frm the school... but if they are able to change themself then faculties should give them a chance

I've been hearing on the radio lately that there is a shortage of teacher in the South. The pricipal should see to it to get these disrespectful kids out of there and in a place like boot camp til they learn there lesson on how to be a more respectful citizen.

I think punishment should be there to some extent,because some times students become complete opposite to their parents and teachers for that punishment is needed.

This is just an absolutely wonderful way of teaching young people what happens to lazy failures who expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter

i think that punishment at primary level is allright,because at that level you don't know what is right and what is wrong so you should be pressed todo your work so this is right to punish at primary level ,but don't punish too much it is not good.

I feel the problem isn't really the schools fault though, it starts at home. Parents need to teach their kids how to respect their elders, their schoolmates and also themselves. Kid today have no respect for anyone, including themselves. Keeping corporal punishment is a must. Otherwise these kids are going to run the schools more than they already do.

I think some of the punishments that schools do is not right. if the kid did something terrible then he should be suspended or whatever
