Dunking the kid, bad move. Should have taken him out in the hall and after making sure no one was looking, smacked the sh*t out of the little bastard, being careful of course to leave no marks..
To: ShadowDancer
Some kids need a dunking now and then.

Of course this notion of "punishment" would occur to a PE teacher.

Most of the Phys Ed teachers I knew growing up were sadistic social misfits.
IMHO they're the ones who could stand a beating.

He should have dunked the parent while he was at it!

Middle schools have swimming pools?

That'll work.

I could imagine the dunking being some sort of innocent "mock" punishment done in jest, but who knows what the intent was.
"This is a new one," Carley said. "You're sending your kids to school to be monitored and kept safe by teachers, and not to be abused by them.
I don't know if dunking falls under corporal punishment but teachers never used to just take whatever some spoiled brat gave them.

Indeed. The old sack full of oranges.
To: IncPen
Couldn't agree more. I am physcially handicapped and I was constantly hounded by PE teachers for not trying hard enough and on one occasion was forced to do push-ups for not being fast enough.
But still if the teacher didn't order this it would be considered horseplay and no one would have cared.

He should have dunked the parent while he was at it! Much easier for these "disciplinarian" types (i.e., sadists) to bully 13-year-olds.

The punishment of the student, a 13-year-old male eighth-grader, was on Dec. 8 after the pupil had allegedly been disruptive with a substitute teacher, Carley said. The boy was not injured. More important... the kid needed dunking. :~D
I bet this is a great teacher. He's been awarded as such in the past. We had a teacher in high school who would have done this, and had the respect of all his students because of it. I remember him making one kid sit in the trash can for a whole class, I forget why, but no abuse was alledged. Same teacher caught a kid chewing tobacco in class... at least he suspected the kid was chewing and had spit it into a Coke can. The kid denied it... teacher said... then you better drink the whole thing before class is out. If you don't, you'll be put in detention. The kid tried to drink it and threw up. :~D

Dunking was too harsh, 3 hard slaps , well aimed pine paddle on his rear would have been sufficient.
It worked on me, for a least an hr or 2.
To: Izzy Dunne
Yeah, that's the ticket. Give a government employee with a superiority complex a license to beat your kid. That'll work. It works a lot better than parents sending their kids to school to be taught, and then undermining all attempts to maintain discipline.
I'll say one thing... if I was EVER unfairly disciplined at school, my parents would NEVER have let me know if they had complained. The school and my parents were a united front. What keeps order is a kid who knows for sure his parents will back school, not a kid who thinks the school can't touch him and whose parents would help you rebel against it.

It sure as hell worked up until the 1960's, my friend. Go ahead and compare the schools of today with those of the past and then tell me instilling fear in the heart of the students doesn't work discipline wise. You sound like you grew up in the late 60's or beyond.
