RE: Students With Disabilities Paddled At Higher Rates
This is sad news,I am against corporal punishment. As long as I can remember, on my children's school, they ask parents if they want corporal punishment. Parents have to consent to this. And I always say no. And definitely no for children with disabilities. Child autism is a very challenging phenomenon to deal with. Parents struggle so as the child. Teachers have to have open ears and wide understanding on this.Know the difference between disabilities and misbehaving.
I've always been against corporal punishment. Hearing that disabled kids get punished more often really makes me angry. I think that parents should be called beforehand and asked for permission as a way to allow parents to protect disabled kids from unfair punishments.
I agree. If the parent consents to it, I can just imagine what the child goes through at home too. But for the teachers, I'm a bit shocked they are not trained how to handle kids with disabilities. It also teaches kids who don't have any, that it is ok or normal to be mean/tough on people who are disabled.
