RE: Students With Disabilities Paddled At Higher Rates
Oh my gosh. I was getting so angry with reading this. I cannot believe they even still allow that in schools. I remember one of my childhood schools allowing that, and seeing kids running from principals office holding their behinds and crying. What I don't understand, is why the heck are those parents letting that happen? Those kids cannot control what they do. It makes me want to go to one of those schools and beat the teachers with the same paddle or whatever they use. As you stated, those kids already have a hard enough time with being disabled. They are not even my child/children but I went into protective mode upon reading the post. I truly hope this brings awareness to all parents. I am resteeming this too.
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 Where I live people tend to be traditional and conservative which includes lots of outdated practices.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.
