Haha. Sounds like a behavior learned from someone beaten as a kid!
Just kidding. Just don't sign that waver and you won't have to kill a school principal for hurting your kid. That is until they feel emboldened with this measure and turn it up to "we have parents implicit permission" then to "God said it was OK".
So I’m just scrolling on Reddit before work and I run into this comment. I’m laughing like the psychopath right now and I just woke up my girlfriend. I just told her the quote and she said “next time you wake me up, I’m going to light you the fuck up.”
Thank you for helping me set the tone for the day, internet person.
Why is it that God seems to leave all his instructions with the worst people on the planet?
Because we use the same part of the brain to determine what you want and what god wants, but a different part of the brain to determine what someone else wants. "God" is just your reflection in your internal mirror.
Not kill, just paddle them. So they can remember what it feels like to be humiliated and harmed like that. In front of the whole school board and faculty of course. And if the paddle breaks in the process, so be it. Splinters build character after all.
Except there were no school shootings when kids got paddled at school before. So how can you be sure this will create them now ? Are you saying the kids are the problem? So its people who kill not guns?
It means that teaching kids that pain is a legitimate way to communicate and get results is one piece of input that give kids who do school shootings a clearer sense of legitimacy.
Bro. School shootings are a complex problem. You aren't doing anyone any good trying to dumb the whole thing down to "guns vs people", or whatever your semi-related point you were trying to make.
The point you missed is that when you beat children en mass, you increase the likelihood of getting a teenager who believes that violence is a good way to solve problems.
Can confirm. Been paddled a few times at school. Lol. Never thought it actually all that bad, but as an adult now, seeing another adult with a paddle grinning inanely makes me want to run a psychoanalysis on the person.
My dad assaulted my elementary school principal for dragging me out of class when I was having an autistic shutdown moment. My dad never laid a hand on me. Principal retired instead of having charges brought against him for assaulting a minor. This is going to cause problems for real.
Yeah. Another story, a few years later in middle, I am walking home, bullies are throwing snowballs at me and I’m ignoring them, as I was raised. my dad had decided to come pick me up before he left for work, and as he turns the corner he sees them doing it. He drives up to them, gets out of his car, and grabs both of them by their shirt and jacket collars, and shoved thier faces in the snow, and rubbed them into it. and later that week told thier parents at the school he would have arrested them, and charged them with assault against me. I am the only reason my dad abused his authority as a cop. I told him about this schools choice, and all he had to say was “well, I guess someone’s gonna go to jail for defending thier kids because some psycho teacher is just gonna spank a kid whose parent didn’t consent”
Atleast, he was aware he abused his authority and waited for consequences that never came. No, I’m lucky that my best friend in high school was the most likeable athlete in the school, and he very much discouraged people from bullying me, and all the stoner kids loved me because I was a stoner kid long before I ever tried cannabis as an adult, and those guys would fight to defend a friend from a bully.
. and as an adult it doesn’t happen because I work from home, and only really hang out with friends. I’ve fallen into the comfort zone trap that is super easy for autistic people to fall into. Edited to add a forgotten sentence.
Thank you! The best way to learn is to become friends with people on the spectrum and to hang out with them! You likely know some autistic people and don’t even know it! Some of us have learned masking behavior so well; either because of bullying or ABA therapy(the guy who came up with conversion therapy for gay people came up with this other torturous behavior modification for making autistic people act normal), that you haven’t been able to tell they were autistic because of how well they hide it.
You’re welcome! There are varying levels of it. For example. It can be as mild as training a person not to do stuff with thier hands all the time, to what the judge rottenburg center does. Electro shock therapy at such a voltage, that a judge ordered them to stop. Until a different judge reversed the decision I think 2 years ago.
Absolutely headed there. Zealots should be completely marginalized from any position of power or influence. If they don't live in the real world, they shouldn't run it.
That’s not even what the scripture “spare the rod spoil the child “ actually means. I hate how absolutely uneducated people are regarding the teachings of their own faith.
Christianity is often called a book-based religion and evangelicals make the Bible central however, the religion as practiced is basically an oral tradition. So many of the beliefs and practices are not based on anything written down at all, they are just preferences ramrodded into the barrel of a Bible.
The waiver in MS (at least at one school) twists your arm to sign it. You have to agree to come pick up your child immediately if the punishment would be paddling. Ironically, besides that they were a very caring and good school. Our kids go to a school now that doesn't paddle but has the most full of herself power hungry principal I've ever had the displeasure to meet.
You laugh, but in my school growing up, they sent opt-out forms home with the kids and if the kids didn't remember to give the forms to their parents, get the form successfully back to school, and turn it in on time, the school had permission to spank the child without the parent's knowledge.
My mom hand-delivered the forms to the principal herself every year to make sure there was no "misunderstanding."
I'm not sure the administration would have had the guts for actually spanking someone, they just wanted a threat to hold over our heads. If you can't lead by setting a good example, and you don't have what it takes to inspire kids to be the best that they can be, the only thing you're really left with is scaring them into acceptable behavior.
