When I ws in grade school the teacher would have simply grabbed them up, marched them outside, and given them three swats from the "Board of Education". I don't care how "learning disabled" you were, very few people needed more than one "lesson" of this type. (Gasp! Shock! The HORROR!)

The best teacher my son ever had was a former Marine who had a four ft. long shade roller. He called it his 'attention stick' and would walk up and down the aisles of the classroom and if anyone was not properly engaged that stick slammed down on their desk. Oh yes, it certainly did get their attention.

Some parents complained and some kids were transferred out of the class.

It didnt' take long for order to be established and it was the best learning experience ever! We were thrilled that our son got to experience that man's teaching skills......and he will never be forgotten.

I child with Tourette Syndrome cannot control the urge to talk. So you are saying that a kid like that should be whipped.

It's nice when you have a normal kid, but you should trying raising a kid with real special needs.

I have a daughter with severe brain damage, and I'd be pissed off if a teacher did anything like that to her.

the teacher would have ... given them three swats from the "Board of Education".

Did you go to my Catholic school? Sister knew how to wield a ruler, I must say.
