RE: Students With Disabilities Paddled At Higher Rates
Thanks for commenting and resteeming. It also makes me mad. Where I live people tend to be traditional and conservative which includes lots of outdated practices. It's a shame corporal punishment is still popular here. They recently started allowing it in the schools where my daughter may someday attend and I'm so angry about that. If a teacher ever paddles my kid I'll be so pissed.
No doubt. I'd be right there with you, to confront the would-be paddler too. Not going to lie, I spanked my kid when he was young and I still find myself disappointed for not finding another means to discipline until the look on his face one day woke me up. I went to my room and cried and that was the last time I paddled. Sometimes a parent may find it the very last resort after all means had been tried, but it is never ok for kids who don't understand exactly what they are doing, to get spanked.
