[QUOTE="shorthairman, post: 260764, member: 6223"] Just my 2 cents...I teach with a guy who was a principal in Oklahoma. In Oklahoma they are/were allowed to spank students using a "Dazed and Confused" board. If a student got in trouble in class they were sent to him. He said he only spanked 1 kid twice. My wife and a friend of hers went to Arkansas to run a half marathon. It was hosted by a school and they got there early. Both being teachers they were looking around a checking things out. The principal came up and started talking to them. They asked him if he had a lot of discipline problems and he said no because they were allowed to use a paddle. His school had a policy that if a student got in trouble the parents were called and the parents had the option to either have their kid sent home, or be spanked. He said only one time did a parent opt for their child to be sent home, and again very few repeat offenders (I forget the exact number). Kids know that teachers are not allowed to touch them so they are getting bolder all the time and it is getting younger and younger. I think just even having the threat of being paddled would straighten a lot kids out. Long gone are the days when kids were more scared of what mom or dad would do to them at home if they found out the kid mis-behaved at school. We had four high school students who ganged up and were harassing one other student (not physical), but definitely inappropriate. Two of the parents were in the administrators offices defending their kids and saying the the other kid need to quit being such a "pussy"...Four kids gang up against one and he is the pussy...SMH...
