kids getting beat up @ school, happens outside of u.s Options

[FoOd]

Just for the sake of arguement...

i think that teachers should be able to hit children.
Why?

Corporal punishment should be allowed. Comparing to the US's crime rate, Singapore is nearly to zero.

[loljuliana]

of course not; i wouldnt want to be beat. and plus, they arent allowed to hit us

[*jooleeah*]

Holy shit, it's a topic by fiji_kid!

[*suddenly she*]

i think the majority of teachers nowadays would be too scared to hit kids even if it was legal. plenty of us can completely demolish a teacher alone, and even the weak can be strong when plentiful.

personally, i wouldn't mind. it would be nice having a reason to smack some (few) certain teachers.

[miszSERENiTY]

Nope. They`d get a bunch of smackdowns from the students haha. Americans have attitude. Especially the teens.

[*basick*]

i cannot see that happening here...

[hollesther]

No!The teacher shouldn't hit their student!!That is just wrong.

[toodlepops.]

That's really sad. AN dit happens to 9 year old kids?
Tsk tsk

[misoshiru]

you know, they don't only get hit in school because they're "hyper." in local schools here in taiwan, kids get hit by their teachers because they don't know the answer to questions, if they don't finish their hwk, if they don't do well on tests. it's obviously not fair for the poor kids. and juliar, they have home punishments as well, but still, they get punished in school.

[pingpang_0811]

by teacher!!
he has no right to do that!
but i think someone go to hit somebody just becoz anger..
is the kid make sth to get the techer angry?

[AngelTears]

NO! If a teacher hit me they'd be fired.. plus I'd hit them back.

And if you dont listen in class teachers have detentions.. stuff like that..

Not really. We may never know for sure, but it's possible for violence to beget violence. Kid got hit in school and hits another kid at lunch time thinking it's an "okay" punishment... who knows.

[nhj_2006]

i got spank by the teachers when i was younger. i guess it was normal. no one fought back.

[vampireduster]

woah, i dont think the kids should be beaten by teachers. i know the kids at my school would be shocked but then knock the teacher down. the teacher wouldnt be a teacher anymore

[x LUV x ALWAYS x]

i dont think students should be hit by teachers at school for doing some problem wrong, or misbehaving.

my parents do that to me all the time =x I should know by experience, usually it doesn't give an advantage to either the teachers or the students. Maybe it's just because I'm kinda rebellious, but it really lowers my self esteem and self confidence. and when my parents hit me, i don't wanna do things right at all just to get them back. then i started hitting them back, and now they don't really hit me anymore. except sometimes. okay, they still kind of do...

on the other hand, my other friend's parent hits them all the time, and hes a perfect student whos really innocent and all.

dunno. i still go by "no" though...

[eli5e]

are u from some place in Asia? particularly korea ???.. ...cause here they dont ..but they can in korea esp.

[FoOd]

If students get hit, and they get hit by the teacher, the teacher does'nt get fired, unless they have tenyer(sp?).

This tenyer(sp?) thing protects the teachers from getting fired, but if they do hit a child, they just get on "temporarily" release meaning, they don't teach, but they still get paid for not teaching.

So if a teacher hits a child, he could get away with it.

But this is beside the point of this thread.

[freeflow]

teachers do not have the right to beat up students or even touch or begin to hit students in that kinda way..

[JlIaTMK]

This is quite an old topic.... but..... as far as I see.... I don't think that is allowed in the U.S. kido.

[mickybeans]

since i've been here in America for all my life, i have been taught that spanking/beating kids at school is a big no-no. however, i have friends/family who live overseas and it's a normal thing and thats why the students over there are so obedient and polite.

personally, i don't think that its wrong. i mean, it's not a good thing to beat kids but a LOT of students here in America tend to become very rude and never wanna listen or anything. i think a greater discipline would probably be better over here, at least. we all take freedom for granted here.

[jue]

i1ve heard so mahy stories about how teachers would litterally brused up kids becase they were late or because of no homeworks.

i think that is totally wrong; the dont have the right to do these things. They arent the mothers or fathers of these kids. They arent the ones that should be deciding if the kids should be punished to brutaly. THey are the teachers; they're the ones that TEACH the kids about life importand lessons and show them how to have ajob in life and such. The only people that should even be doing these things to the kids would be the parents.

[chinesekimchi]

hey i got a quick question.. (for those who say NO) wat would u do if kids dont listen to u???? (and u r a teacher)

I would PUNISH THEM verbaly [i dunno the spelling] but with WORDS not hands and ur in america now dont worry about that

[BeyondElite]

In my opinion, children that are physicaly attacked by teachers is pretty stupid, even though teachers are trying to discipline them. They're just going to end up with nothing.

[iixSOOJINx]

why would a teacher beating up a student ever be right?
thats just wrong.
however, that student has some nerve to make the teacher that pissed off.

[*iNyCxShoRT*]

Well it does discipline (sp?) them more than yelling would do. I actually think it's good to have it. p_p; I mean it would whip kids into shape and make them think about what they're getting themself into.
