“Corporal Punishment,” what a lovely, soft language term to legitimize literally terrorizing children through violence.
I’ve always been torn on physical punishment for kids but that turmoil ends when it comes to schools.
There is zero reason anyone besides the parent should even think about doing that.
…Why is the parent allowed to think about it? It’s illegal for parents to hit their children here.
Because there are certain instances where it’s actually required. The problem comes from the fact that people don’t understand the difference between when it’s actually necessary and when they just want to let anger out violently.
Sorry, I disagree. Violence is violence.
How do you teach someone empathy without putting them through what they do to others?
My daughter used to bite people. We tried everything to get her to stop. One day she bit my leg hard. So I yoinked her lil ass up and bit her back.
She never bit anyone again.
I still feel bad about it because I reacted with anger. But the lesson was learned. Permanently.
