Should violence be used on schoolchildren?

negative reinforcement should always be the last resort
i dont like ppl that think its okay to hit ppl, for any reason.
n our current times in America it is a crime to strike a child. You cannot call them names or humiliate them either. You can only give them "detention" which means they show up and chill in an after school class during weekends.
on the otherhand there will always be the need for physical
force and violence. Someone will always break the rules and
cause problems and you have to make examples to teach others.

i just dont agree doing that on kids, i mean we need cops but
we dont need drill seargents in schools hitting kids for misbehaving

How do u feel about it?

they say the first 15 years of a child will buid his character. So it is very importsnt to see to that the child does not go to the dirty side. But this also does not mean you can simply abuse/beat up the kids for misbehaving... There will be slip ups so it has to be seen that these slip ups do not happen very often or rather they dont commit the same mistake. Beating has to be the last resort... And instead of getting a drill seargant to do the beating i think if parents are asked to do it the kid might realise the gravity of his/her mistake.

Even I protest using negative reinforcement using on school children. Children of this generation are of very fast track so they always want to explore new things. So in this process they tend to some mischief if teachers turns as there friends and share their views and ideas I think teaches will never get any chance to be violent with them. If teaches approach them in a violence manner even students will approach the same manner to full fill there requirements.

Well if all kids were from 2 story houses in the suburbs you might be able to talk sense to them, but this isn't always the case. If you give a kid detention he will laugh at you in your face. I have never had corpal punishment, so I don't know how effective it is. Maybe it would have helped me out. Laughing

Well.....I have kids and I would not want them to be handled badly but sometimes I swear even the 4 year olds can get under your skin.

I think stuff like this should be a case by case basis.

I will say that even though corporal punishment in public schools is illegal, my second grade teacher did spank the children who misbehaved. It kept us all in a state of fear and humiliation. The idea of being paddled by someone who was not even a member of our own family... it was no good. My mother did have me switched out of that class, and there was an inquiry into that teacher's behavior. I was only in second grade at the time so I don't remember for sure what happened, but I assume she was removed from her position. Anyway, my point is that corporal punishment may have its place in the home, that's up to each family to decide, but I think it is inappropriate for a schoolteacher to have that right over children.

It is not a good did if teachers make violent to their students. If her patience is about to end, then he must call the parents and talked to the student together with the parents in a diplomatic way. Maybe this will solved, not that spanking or let the students outside the classroom.

I think we would be a lot better off if we stopped teaching that violence, or simply causing pain, is the way to regulate behavior.

Violence or negative reinforcements will not solve anything, and if it was my child that was being disciplined in that manner, I would want some answers to why this is allowed, there are other ways to dealing with a child who is lashing out rather than using violence, I have two daughters and they are very well mannered so how we as parents raise our children will go along way in dealing with this matter. I get nothing but excellent reviews on my children from there teachers and coaches.

No, kids should not be exposed to violence, they will either be afraid of school or take out their emotions on others, creating more bullies and future problems for society.
