Do you think corporal punishment should be reinstated in schools?

Why or why not?

No, I had a teacher actively bullying my son when he was in 4th grad.

Bullying ANY kid in ANY grade is uncalled for. If the public schools allowed ANY teacher to bat us around, my parents would have been in court the next day.

@MaryJanine we didn’t find out until later. It was alll psychological as well

That is TERRIBLE. As I said in many other posts, if my first-grade trauma hadn't been addressed immediately, I would have quit going to school the next day and every day after that. Thank God for my understanding mom, who knew I didn't lie to her, and the wisdom of Mrs. Landry, the principal.

Oh, not me. I LOVED school - until this incident. I was minding my own business and got accused of something I didn't even do. The little witch who accused me of it sat on the far side of the classroom and I was NOWHERE NEAR her desk. I stayed away from her because she made it plain she didn't like me. Well, more power to her. Just leave me alone. But she had figured a way to get me in trouble.
