Corporal punishment still happening in American schools? WTF?

Why would a child want "revenge"?

When has a child ever used a machine gun in school?

Not to mention that I'm fully capable of successfully defending myself against people either armed or unarmed.

 

Is it ironic on a thread where many adults are promoting violent assaults against children, that one poster suggests that the kids hit back?
Many parents advise their children that if they are violently bullied at school they should hit back.
My ‘ironic’ posts are designed to show up the absurdity of adult self justification for their violent assaults, and taking their own argument to what seems to me to be it’s logical conclusion.

 

Chokehold. I know how to use those very successfully.

 

If children are raised correctly, why is there any need to violently assault them, big person verses little person?

 

How do they handle violent children that attack teachers that don't spank them now? Same techniques should work.

 

Spankings are not violent assaults, so you can stop with that nonsense. I didn't have to spank my sons much. They learned early on that there were consequences to their actions. That's why they are the respectable, law abiding, hard working men they are today who respect me and their dad very much.

 

Ridiculous to you maybe because you have no answer to my questions, you cannot sustain a case for violent assaults by big people against little people, and where that violence might lead.

 

Can you elaborate as to how you choke a person smaller than you?

 

I'm not talking about violent assaults, I'm talking of spankings.

Obviously you've attempted to change topics to help your argument.

 

A choke hold is not choking.

 

I heard a child of maybe 4 or 5 tell an adult yesterday "you are not the boss of me" who was put in charge of said child. What I heard was "please whup my ass".

 

Ok, go on.
People have a concept of ‘spanking’ and ‘paddling’ and the newly introduced idea of a ‘chokehold’.
What other ‘techniques’ do you have in mind?

 

1) Who says the "child" is smaller than me?
2) You bend over.

 

A child might want revenge if they feel an assault on them was unjustified.
Wouldn’t you agree such a scenario is possible?

 

your right, machine guns are banned, hard to get

 

In your illusion of a child taking "revenge" on the person paddling them?

Pin them down and hold them down till they calm down. However, this has never happened to me or anyone else I've know to paddles. You're really reaching for this argument of yours.

 

What is it then?
And why the term ‘choke’?

 

Not really, the child is learning of consequences with the paddling and would not want more.

 

google it, you're not choking someone with a choke hold.

I'm guessing you were not paddled.

 

Oh sorry, my mistake in assuming the discussion is about big people assaulting smaller people.
I think what you are describing now is a physical fight between persons of equal size.

 

Except no one in this thread that is in support of spankings is talking about violent assault. A violent assault will leave bruises at best. Proper spankings leave no marks that last for longer than 5 minutes. It stings, but does not hurt. For reference if it hurts then they more than likely have trouble sitting down for a long time. Stings allow one to sit, if slightly uncomfortable, for a few minutes then are fine.

 

Assault and battery.

"Battery
At common law, an intentional unpermitted act causing harmful or offensive contact with the "person" of another.
Battery is concerned with the right to have one's body left alone by others.
Battery is both a tort and a crime. Its essential element, harmful or offensive contact, is the same in both areas of the law. The main distinction between the two categories lies in the penalty imposed. A defendant sued for a tort is civilly liable to the plaintiff for damages. The punishment for criminal battery is a fine, imprisonment, or both. Usually battery is prosecuted as a crime only in cases involving serious harm to the victim."

I'm not a teacher so no idea what techniques they use.

 

Thank you for that, still not the same as paddling a child's behind when needed.

 

I disagree.
The argument is about the practicalities and the rightness or wrongness of big people assaulting smaller people and where that might lead.
We haven’t even started on the ‘lesson’ demonstrated that you solve problems with violence.
