My 6th grade teacher slapped my face for talking to the girl seated in front of me. It wasn’t called child abuse back then.
It was child abuse, it just wasn’t called that.
If a teacher slapped my child or grand child, I would personally slap her/him, even if it meant arrest for me.
she slapped you? oh that’s absolutely abuse!
there is no excuse for that.
Todays teachers can thank the legions of abusers and freaks that were ‘teachers’ in years past. IMO those bad memories cause todays parents to lash out at teachers & can't say as I blame them..
Child abuse? I don’t know about that.
I’m a big believer in corporal punishment in schools, and I think one of the reasons why, in a lot of schools, teachers can’t seem to get control of their classrooms.
I went to a Jesuit school, and you better believe that there was corporal punishment, and it simply worked.
Some time ago, my young wife, who is a scientist (and not a teacher) decided that in some of her free time, she would volunteer as a substitute science teacher at the local middle school. She was excited about this prospect, and I shared with her my belief in corporal punishment in schools. She was flabbergasted and of course told me I was wrong and outrageous and whatnot.
From almost the first day, her biggest complaint was that she had no control over the students and no way to discipline them. They were rude, obnoxious, and made sexually suggestive comments to her. Her efforts to scold them were utterly fruitless. Around the time that she quit, she remarked to me that she thought I was right, and the school system was absolute chaos.
