You should be able to pull their ear and if it didn't work the first time it wasn't pulled hard enough. File this under pussification.

In thinking this through, it could be said that the educators are not to touch them now because the kids carry guns...

Even if they may need it, your not supposed to put hands on students.
Well, speaking of education, how about the fact that the editor of that paper doesn't know the difference between the Principles of Conduct & the Principals of Conduct. SMH......

I understand fully the current argument about not laying a finger on a child, BUT.........
Damn, I was swatted around pretty good as a kid (Yes, "switches" were the recommended punishment in the Boston Public School System) and "paddled" pretty good in Catholic high school, including one knockout sucker punch from behind by Brother Murphy (I only did 9 out of the 10 problems on my Chemistry homework - TRUE!). I look back and it doesn't bother me a bit. I was "touched" pretty painfully and I think I'm qualified to be an advocate of handling the child if necessary.
Kids today are spoiled rotton and get away with murder.
And heaven help me when i got home with the note to my parents that I got 5 lashes that day. The five lashes were the easy part.
I wasn't as big of a problem in school as Stan but I did get the paddle a couple times and believe you me I never complained or told my parents.
Thankfully, my school seemed to operate under the we'll "handle it right here in brainard" 'Modus Operandi' so my parents never knew, but my parents also didn't sign any papers saying I was exempt from corporal punishment which was an option starting around the 5th grade at my school system

That's funny. The thing is, I was a very behaved kid in school.
Nobody, even the "alter boys", made it to 18 without a switch or two, a paddle, and a couple of whacks under their belt.
Well we both know I was joking

I don't think so...

Sadly I am compelled to agree. Unfortunately there are people out there disguised as teachers who given the chance put their hands on a kid in totally, totally, totally inappropriate ways......and at that age you never forget the event(s).

That you are absolutely correct about.
The educators today don't even remotely resemble the real teachers from back then.
Maybe you're right.
Best that they keep their stupid hands off the kids.

I can't say I never got it at school but I got it at home enough to balance it out. 'Til I waz 15 I waz sure my name waz Damn It Jerry. Seams like I got more then my share ah whoopin's but in looking back, I deserved every one. And in adulthood my education has continued thru' many types of media including the "Tube". Y'ever see ah mama bear discipline one of her baby cubz for gettin' out of line? Usually them little critterz learn after one or two paw wacks at the most to pay better attention to what mama iz tryin' to teach 'um. And look at it anyway you want to, we'z all critterz of some nature or other after you peel the hide back, true?
You are correct. Teachers aren't what they used to be.
I was fortunate that most of the male teachers that I had in high school were WW2 vets that had gotten their education on the GI Bill. These were guys that you not only respected, you didn't give them any crap. You could count on them to care and do the right thing by everybody. (C-Body related.... One English teacher was a WW2 vet also, she was the mother of the guy I bought my 300 from!)
Today.... Yeah.... Not so much.
Where I work, we share a common parking lot with the other businesses in the building. It's an old factory (last use was Rockwell power tools) that has been divided up and rented. The city of Syracuse now has their "teacher resource center" on the first floor. A few times a week, there will be conferences and seminars for the district teachers and the parking lot will fill up.
Now... Everyone here understands that the parking spots near the front door with the white wheelchair graphic painted on the ground and yellow parking stripes means "Handicapped parking"... Correct?
In front of the door are 6 handicapped spots, and depending on the time of day, there can be 2 to 4 cars parked with proper tags. Everybody working there understood it and never parked in one of those spots.
Not the teachers... They would park there, not paying any attention.
So... a sign went up on their door saying "parking spaces in front of this door are handicapped spots and don't park there". That did nothing.
Finally, the building owners had to put a sign on a post in the front of each spot so the teachers would understand.
This is the shape of the education system...

I'll just say I had a second grade teacher who was very abusive and acted in very inappropriate ways. My folks finally caught on when I started coming home in the afternoon with ripped shirt sleeves, collars, belt loops torn off and sometimes missing clothing. Did the same thing to my friend Tommy, who lived around the corner from my house and was in my class. I came into the classroom one morning with a brand new teacher so I think the administration caught on to what was going on and acted quickly. Don't think I could vote for teachers touching students.
I wasn't an altar boy in school and deserved to get my *** kicked!

I was going to say that but I knew you would for me
And yes, I absolutely believe in Karma.

I actually get worried when I have a run of A good luck. You can't defy the Law of Averages.
