Are there still schools out there,that still spank children?

Sure.  There is no federal law banning corporal punishment in schools, it is up to the states.  Most southern states still practice spanking on kids for disciplinary violations.  It is also possible for schools in states that have taken a stance against physical punishment to get waivers that allow them to do it with parental consent.  This is not likely to be addressed federally any time soon.

its just me, but you would be hard pressed to find any school period that does not have bullying.  bullying takes on many forms and is not as obvious as punching and name calling.  just find the school that fits the needs of your student and has an excellent academic and extracurricular structure.  everything else can be taken care of as it happens.

Oh I like this question....\nI bet when I was 8 my worst sin was this...\nI was told that if I ever got a spanking in school I would get a worse one at home. One day I did not do my homewqork for the 5th time in a week and I got paddled at school. I NEVER told my Mom and Dad. Months later, maybe even a year, we saw my Teacher at the mall and I was about to pass out thinking she would mention the incident. THEY NEVER FOUND OUT!!!!

There are more unconvicted pedophiles walking about and working in the school system unbeknownst to anyone.  Although convicted, rights are still granted to them with strict rules about distance to children, etc.  Each city and state makes those laws, so I would encourage you to seek legislation about the matter depending on where you live.  In my opinion, pedophiles should be inhumanely sent to an island in the middle of nowhere with nothing but a volleyball for a companion.

Are we talking sex or careers here?\n\nI'm a teacher, I want to spank them. And I'm submissive. I want to spank them too. Yeah, spankings all around.

It's still allowed, as far as I know, in about 15 US States, mostly in the South.  The only ones I know for definite are Texas and Mississippi.\n\nHere in the UK it's been outlawed in all schools, public and private, for ten years or so.

Maybe it's the parents who should be caned. We have gone from one extreme to the other, from over harsh discipline to none at all.\nWe need to find a middle path were unacceptable behaviour is clearly defined with the certain knowledge that something unpleasant will happen if they do it. ie hard work in an difficult environment. Years of child centred education has produced a generation of soft, weak, useless young adults who are only capable of wining and complaining, getting drunk and fighting and vomiting in the streets. And the boys are just as bad :)

I applaud all of you, a school is there to teach children not as another way of the nanny state interfering with the way we raise our children, I have a two (soon to be three) year old son and he will be starting reception school in september. I remember a few years ago the government wanted people to stop calling children winners and losers and instead use the term yet to achieve success in a bid to hep childrens self esteem. Has no one considered the effect of weighing classes of kids, possibly in front of other class pupils? and in any event what about the poor kids who have to take these letters home and the effect being told you're fat at such an early age may have on them, don't we have enough of a problem with eating disorders...

I have trouble with the strictness at my school.  As much as I understand it, it's really a bummer for us kids that are actually well-behaved, you know?  *sighs*  It's sad...

Not as long as it is a 'spanking' and not physically abusive, leaving marks and/or bruises.

Thank God for our great state of Tennessee ,here the law states you can spank your child under the waist  on the butt as long as you don't leave excessive marks.

You CAN spank a child with an open hand across the butt--WITHOUT leaving a mark...I have done this, it is OK. I have 3 kids!! As long as you don't leave marks on your kids, punch, slap, or use ANYTHING other than your hand to disipline, you won't get in trouble.\nYes, children can cry "child abuse". But if they want to live in foster care, so be it. They don't think about that before they pick up the phone. Some kids don't realize how much nicer their home life is compaired to foster care. \nI also believe things should be taken away: phones, TV's, stereo's, things like that. Rules should be followed. Respect should be given. And children shouldn't be acting the way they do just because they didn't get their own way, and I see that a lot!!\nHowever, I have seen a lot of actual child abuse cases and nothing was done. It seems like the cases that should be dealt with aren't, and the ones that shouldn't, are...it's crazy. \nI don't think teenagers should be spanked either. They are too old for that. Grounded, yes. Things taken away, yes. But not spanked. You can get arrested for assaulting a child in public, or if there's physical evidence and witnesses that can say that a child was abused anywhere else, you can be arrested, yes. \nSome parents just don't care and let their kids do what ever they want. I didn't. I had rules and things to follow.If you have parents who care about you, you'll have them. And be glad that you do.

I see nothing wrong with disipline. I personally use all options before I spank my child but my child does not act like that. My daughter will walk up to a kid in a store that is being rude to their parents and tell them that they better be glad they have the parents they do cause hers would spank her nomatter who was around. My hubby and I were in line at the bank and was watching a kid disrespect both his parents and hit his mom. My hubby commented just loud enough for the parents to hear that if that had been our child acting that way in public he would have knocked the living life out of them. The parents heard him and grabbed the child and left.

It's actually corporal punishment - where kids get whacked with canes for wrong answers, etc.\nCorporate punishment is the above answer.\nAnd no, it is illegal. These days even grabbing a kid's sleeve in self-defence when they're whacking you with a chair can be labelled teacher-student abuse; unbelievable.

yes, some people do. I've seen it in public. I've heard children talk about it. Sometimes it's a small smack on the butt - something more embarrassing than physically painful - other times it is clearly child abuse.

As "wimpy" as it sounds, I really don't support physical fighting at school.  It's not very productive at all and usually just gets the students involved suspended.  There are other ways to work out problems.
