    “The policy outlines that the punishment can only be administered by “certified personnel” and in the presence of a district employee witness.”

    imagine your job being Certified Child Spanker

    what the fuck

    Imagine your kids school sending you a letter that they are cool with hitting YOUR kid for whatever dumb reasons teachers have.

    I’d start doing some spanking as well, see how they like it.

      Spanking royale. Your child spanks someone, someone spanks your child, then you go in and spank someone, then…

      The endless circle.

    Because I got way too little sleep last night, and because the word “bat” in liberal discourse about China usually means something very different from what you play baseball with, I immediately imagined some guy in a Zhongshan suit using a furry winged mammal to beat the fear of Mao into some kid who didn’t do his homework.

    If I ever have children and am still unfortunately living in this cesspit, they’re getting homeschooled. Friends of mine have told me that that’s a bad idea because of the “lack of socialization” and they’ve met “weird home schooled kids” but you know what? I don’t want my child going to a school where an authority figure can beat them at will, where I may be sending them straight into a death-trap where they may get shot, where the education is pro-capitalist indoctrination, where the lauded “socialization” is really atomization, bullying, and a deep ingraining of individualist values. I’ll find different ways to get my kids socialized. I won’t allow the beast to swallow them.

      They do realize that homeschooled kids can go to a regular social place right?

      Most of the “weird homeschool kid” comes from the overlap of religious extremists who homeschool. Their kids are “weird” because they’ve been brainwashed into believing a Bronze Age ideology steeped in violence and de-humanization.

        Not just a Bronze Age ideology steeped in violence but usually a version of that which is chock full of whacky conspiracies like evolution being a lie by the devil, the earth being only 6000 years old, plain weird things like Adam and Eve riding dinosaurs (or alternatively dinosaurs being a lie planted by the devil), that abortion is a silent genocide of trillions of humans, and just all kinds of other horrifying, anti-social, child abuse shit. Manipulative and abusive psychology has been perfected by these people who publish many of those courses to coerce, manipulate and control kids into their cult. To teach them natural urges like masturbation, sex, etc are wrong, evil, etc. So they grow up hating themselves, seeing themselves as fallen, evil, wicked with a limited range of expression, stunted growth in many realms, etc.

        So yeah, home schooling minus that will definitely turn out a much more normal, well-adjusted kid.

      Yep, right next door in Kansas feeling great about our decision to homeschool. When I thought about my own education (K-6th segment) I realized 90% of it is just learning how to be a decent person with a huge emphasis on shutting up, and decided we can probably do that without the strict authority adherence bits. I really hope y’all can repeal that before it spreads around the 4-states region, but I can imagine at least Arkansas is probably gearing up compliment similar policies.

        In IL for now so it’s slightly better as we’re led by enlightened philosopher-billionaire-king Pritzker lol. Thank you for sharing your experience with homeschooling!

    I got beat with a 2x4 at one of the schools I went to. They carved a handle out of one end and used it as a “paddle” kind of thing. Some schools do even worse, though. Canes, switches, and “belts”(in quotation marks because it’s often just a strap of leather, sometimes split at the end) can break skin.

    This largely went away in public schools, but never did in private schools. Many children get sent to private schools just for the corporal punishment. Sometimes, they offer “scholarships” just for those kids if the family can’t afford tuition.

    I’d make sure to clarify beforehand that I’ll break the jaw of whomever dares hit my children.

    Spanking kids at school is a great way to teach them pretending to understand what you want them to learn, and covering up their mistakes instead of confronting them. It will lead to a society that is to an even greater degree based on fear, deceit, and incompetence.

    Whatever fucking scum came up with this idea should be among the first to face the wall or to be guillotined during the revolution (in Minecraft)

      Are the USA now justifying the reign of terror despite their attempts to frame China for the reign of terror with the 1989 false flag terrorism? The sole Liberal superpower should not think that violence is the only solution unless they want to expose their hypocrisy. They blatently support delinquency by children of fake refugees who claim to be victim of Communism despite their claim that fake refugees are from former European colonies and not from Communist countries.

    This is just upsetting. It’s as simple as a person not wanting to be hit being hit. That’s an act of violence now committed against the kid and modelled for them as a way to solve problems
