This just blows my mind. Paddling should not be a form of punishment at school and for something as trivial as cheating. In the video one of the mothers says her daughter is proof that a man should never hit a women, well how about an adult shouldn't hit a child. One of the girls was paddled by her male vice principal and a male police officer watched... WHAT? Am i the only bothered by this?? That is so creepy. Both the Vice Principal and the Police Officer should be fired!
I think these mothers are just plain stupid. All they're trying to change is so that it's a female teacher hitting their children instead of male one. Why not try outlaw spanking as a punishment all together and have their child get a detention like a normal student.
For a country so against child abuse, and simply abuse in general, it blows my mind that a school would even consider this. I feel like in order for a school to be able to do something like this they would have had to get permission from not only all of the parents of the children that go to that school, but also the state. How would people have gone along with this?! Physical abuse is never the answer. And it is crazy that the only real reason the mother was upset was because it was a man hitting her child is so beyond stupid! What about the simple fact that her child is even getting hit?! There are some stupid, stupid people out there.
ReplyDeleteYeah this is rather ridiculous. I can say I have witnessed watching this myself though. They did this at the school where I attended Kindergarten. It was disturbing to see one of your classmates getting hit with a paddle. I don't think they still do this at that school which is good. They say it teaches children discipline, but it reeally shows children that physical abuse is ok.. Which it's not. Thank God I transfered out of that school.
