  2. Corporal Punishment in Public Schools A Teacher’s Perspective

  3. Discipline…not the same as Punishment • Learning how to effectively discipline a child is an important skill that all parents and teachers need to learn. • Discipline is not the same as punishment! • Discipline has to do more with teaching, and involves teaching a child/student… • right from wrong • how to respect the rights of others • which behaviors are acceptable and which are not • how to be self-confident, self-disciplined, and how to control his/her impulses • to not get overly frustrated with the normal stresses of everyday life

  4. Do we spare the rod and spoil the child or use corporal punishment to correct inappropriate behavior? • These two viewpoints are quite controversial… Some are very passionate about spanking Others are adamant about using alternative disciplinary measures • Discipline can be PAINFUL or PLAUSIBLE depending on who is on the receiving end! • Corporal Punishment: painful, intentionally inflicted physical penalty administered by a person in authority for disciplinary purposes. Forms of CP: beating, whipping, paddling, flogging • Alternative measures: peaceful, calm, and usually entail counseling, instruction, and chances for betterment.

  5. I think we can all agree that this is NOT the time to lay blame and point fingers, but to work TOGETHER to find solutions.

  6. How to prevent Corporal Punishment from starting… • establish clear behavior expectations and guidelines • focus on student success and self-esteem • seek student input on discipline rules • use a “systems approach” for prevention, intervention and resolution • develop levels of incremental consequences • enforce rules with consistency, fairness, and calmness • plan lessons that provide realistic opportunities for success • monitor the classroom environment continuously to prevent off-task behavior and student disruptions • provide students with social skills training and instruction, character education, student recognition, and involve them in peer mediation
