That's how troubled I am over this.
First, I don’t think any kid under the age of ten ought to be given any computer/tab asset via the school, or at home.
If this was a accident....why paddle? This part of the story is missing and it’d make no sense if this were a total accident to discipline the kid.
Is corporal punishment even still legal?
Not a 6 year old that’s just wrong.
But when you get into middle school a crack from a pointer was De rigueur in the Catholic school I attended. Heck if my dad knew I got whacked by the nun I’d get it it 10 times worse when I got home.
Color of principal?
Color of girl/mother?
I’m surprised a school even has a paddle in this day & age.
Having said that, when I was a ked, EVERY teacher had a paddle. The female teachers would go get the PE teacher or basketball coach to really deal out punishment better than they could. Nothing like a 6” 6” man to swing a paddle.
Also, it doesn’t look like the teacher in the video wielded that paddle as hard as she could have.
But again, times are different now.
“I had never hit her.”
That’s why somebody else had to.
Maybe the kid is an ill-disciplined lout.
And maybe the Principal is a sadist. Sadists do seek govt positions to wreak havoc from.
Not enough information to decide anything.
So mom, how do you hit your 6 year old little girl?
That's said, I got smacked around pretty good by the nuns from about 4th grade on. I totally deserved it every time I can remember but plotted my revenge anyway.
Not gonna fall into the PC trap here - there’s nothing wrong with a properly administered paddling when justified.
So much wrong here.
No hatred. The snowflake mother who videoed her daughter getting paddled to win life’s lottery should be charged with child endangerment since she did not even try to intervene to protect her daughter.
And what the heck is a 6 year old doing on a computer when most of them can’t even read or write these days?????
The little girl just learned a valuable lesson about those lofty godlike persons known as ‘Educators’.
Watch, listen and things get clearer.
The ‘board’ of education.
The mother would rather record it than get her daughter out of there. Dimwit.
I had parents that used a belt not to punish but because it was tuesday. I go to school and they had a gym teacher that had a paddle. I stopped going to gym and eventually school.
People who beat children are twisted.
