Discipline In Education - Page 3
| QUOTE (howe6079 @ 8-Sep 05, 11:26 PM) |
| However, a good teacher who is a natural leader will usually be able to gain the respect of the class by respecting them. Teachers (especially subsitutes) who enter the classroom with the "Sit down, little heathens" attitude, spoken or unspoken, will rarely have obedient classes, and they will even more rarely touch or teach anybody. Children are little people, and they can tell when they are resented, feared, loved, or ignored. |
I agree wholeheartedly! If you treat a student with no respect, as if they are a heathen to be controlled, that is when you get trouble, because they will act like a heathen. If you treat them with respect, they can tell! I believe in giving kids choices, talking to them with respect, and allowing them to be responsible for their actions and the solutions to their problems.

| Discipline is NOT saying to a child "That is naughty, don't do it"... Discipline is a smacked bottom! I believe it is the best way... and I was brought up with it... and so I am proof that it works. I thank my parents every day that they disciplined me right. At my school we still have the cane/paddle. It doesn't do much though. |
Perhaps I am reading this wrong, but it seems that you contradict yourself here. And it is my strong opinion that kids do NOT need physical punishment of any form, although I can understand why in some situations with extremely wild kids, creating a consequence such as LDS_forevor mentioned may be unavoidable for some who may be hard to reach due to their home life. The important thing is that they internalize that it is a consequence of something that they did. I believe that hitting a kid will only cause fear, particularly when it is done in anger. Many say that fear=respect, but I disagree. Fear causes people to show signs of respect merely because they know they have to, not because they actually respect you. As a teacher, who should be a role model who helps students, I don't think that's the type of relationship I'd like to have with my students.

| Some people need intrinsic motivation and others need extrinsic motivation. |
I disagree with this statement. Extrinsic motivation can work as a temporary motivator for some, but in the long run it helps noone, as it tends to create extrinsic motivation junkies. Kids learn the system, and before you know it they will be refusing to do anything without extrinsic motivation. It is the intrinsic motivation that keeps on giving.

How does home schooling sound? I personally don't know how effective it is. Unless you know how the best way to teach your child math, then you should go to someone that does know. I realize that regular school is horrible compared to most every other world class countries. What should we do? We should find out what our schools are teaching our children, find out what is, and what is not necessary, and find out from experts what are the best subjects we need to learn, how to learn them.
One of my teachers admitted that he was teaching something that we would never need. This should be totally unacceptable.
Like I said, I don't think that home schooling is the answer. What do you think?

US: End Beating of Children in Public Schools 20 Aug 2008 08:00:35 GMT Source: Human Rights Watch Reuters and AlertNet are not responsible for the content of this article or for any external internet sites. The views expressed are the author's alone. Abusive, Discriminatory Punishment Undermines Education More than 200,000 US public school students were punished by beatings during the 2006-2007 school year, Human Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union said in a joint report released today. In the 13 states that corporally punished more than 1,000 students per year, African-American girls were twice as likely to be beaten as their white counterparts. |

This article goes on to detail 4 weeks of research in Texas and Mississippi. Frankly, I had no idea that paddling was still legal in the United States, but apparently there are 21 states still using this type of punishment. While I disagree with their repeatedly calling it "beating" rather than "paddling," some of the quotes from the kids and parents are eye-openers.
One quote relates:

| "...It left me feeling very humiliated. I think there were several levels of emotion. Physical pain, mental humiliation. And being a female at that age, it was, like, there was this older man hitting me on the butt. That's weird - even at that age I knew it was inappropriate." -- Allison G., a recent graduate punished as a teenager in Texas for being late to class multiple times. |
They are paddling teenagers?! Men being paid as part of their job for paddling teenage girls and young boys? That's just wrong! Sick and wrong!
I don't know why I thought it would be reserved for young children, maybe because my mother stopped spanking my sisters and me before we got to the teenage years, same for all of our friends. By 7th grade, no one was being spanked anymore, and I think in California it was made illegal in the schools before then (early 70s).
This was a reality check for me.
