I don't have personal knowledge that the (1-12)principal applied spankings, but we all thought he did. I do remember significant physical chastisement applied to a (16-yr-old) 8th grade repeat offender - by the math/science teacher/HS sports coach - in the coatroom next to the classroom. It ensured good behavior for all for the next several years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-68289943735440230652010-08-01T17:01:39.749-07:002010-08-01T17:01:39.749-07:00We have kids that are all too aware that their par...We have kids that are all too aware that their parents threaten to sue over the least little thing. That is why we have nonsense like zero tolerance and ridiculous rules. Until the administrations grow some spines and stand up to parents, and the courts stop allowing them to file frivolous lawsuits, we will continue to see this kind of thing.Ellen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845981491726296767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-20865321024765261732010-08-01T11:57:51.545-07:002010-08-01T11:57:51.545-07:00And make teachers deal with her longer?

Also, if my Mom (my parents were divorced) found out I did something like that, she would have marched my butt right down to the school and ASKED them to mete out whatever punishment they deemed appropriate. The girl has some maturity issues. Perhaps she needs to be held back a few years?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15202716125247172211noreply@blogger.com
