We had “optional” corporal punishment.

You could choose swats with a paddle, or writing sentences over and over.

Most people took swats, but I just picked sentences and never did them. They’d double the amount a couple times and eventually stop asking for them.

But absolutely zero boys gave a shit about taking swats, it was no deterrent what so ever. Even knowing that there was an easy way out of the alternative, they’d just take swats and immediately forget it happened.

If anything it made behavior worse, because they could do whatever and then have a few seconds of discomfort later if and only if they were caught doing the bad thing.

But absolutely zero boys gave a shit about taking swats

Great time to remind everyone that the adult men who administer corporal punishment in schools do in fact take great pleasure in spanking teenage girls, and that girls opt-out of it more than boys because they know it will border on sexual assault.

Girls have a higher pain tolerance than boys. They just know the horrific implications of being alone in a room with an older man who has authority and permission to use violence.

spanking teenage girls

This is a thing that happens?

wjrii ,

Just ask current Auburn University head football coach Hugh Freeze.

dylanmorgan ,

Well that was disgusting.

wjrii ,

It’s okay. He said he loves Jesus. We’re all fine!!!

givesomefucks ,

Oh yeah, I think girls didn’t even have the option.

I dont know if the girls gym teacher just wouldn’t do it, or if none of them picked it, but none of them got swats.

But almost every gym class there was a line of boys waiting.

HubertManne ,

I had heard from a guy from singapore that many young men had the idea around the canning that they could do that standing on their head kind of thing.

Aurenkin ,

What’s wrong with physical punishment? My dad hit me and I turned out fine after just a decade of therapy.

Careful now, I got in trouble yesterday for not putting a /s on my sarcasm.

The

does wonders.

Being sarcastic about damn near everything works for me.

Samvega ,

This is the way.

roy_mustang76 ,

Fucking hell, how is this still legal in 45 other states???

We have a long way to go

dylanmorgan ,

Right? I’m often shocked by what is still legal, like the number of states that allow an adult to marry a child.

It’s frustrating how long it takes the legal system to catch up. I experienced corporal punishment in public school. It’s a barbaric and weird practice.

HubertManne ,

I was unaware it was still legal until this.

Aarrodri ,

Cuz of little shits? You know how they say Karens are Karens cuz they never had consequences?

roy_mustang76 ,

It is entirely possible to give children consequences without hitting them, you lack imagination if the only way you can envision giving a child consequences is to hit them.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Why do you think, “if you do something I disapprove of, I will cause you pain,” is a good lesson to teach a child? When a child does that to another child, it’s called bullying.

Kyrrrr ,

Gotta make sure the kids stay in line so you can get them to work. Don’t forget how many child labor laws have been loosened or removed by conservative states

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not a violent person. I’ve never been in a fight, let alone in jail for assault. If some school official did that shit to my daughter, it would be my first time for both.

emerald ,

The thumbnail made me think this was about hitting children with busses, glad to see that’s already illegal

Viking_Hippie ,

hitting children with busses, glad to see that’s already illegal

…for now.

The data available shows hitting kids does absolutely nothing to increase desired behaviors and in many cases is linked to increase in unwanted behaviors.

What do you mean hitting children teaches them that hitting is acceptable?

Next they will tell us that beating our wives for dinner being late is unacceptable!

CosmicTurtle0 ,

Yeah I can 100% confirm this. My parents beat me when I was a kid.

I’ve learned to lie better. It’s not something I’m proud of.

BigMacHole ,

It’s CHILD ABUSE!

To not allow TEACHERS to SPANK KIDS! I’m a Republican trying to Protect The Children!

Zahille7 ,

I went to a small rural school for a year when I was in elementary. The music teacher head paddle he’d use when it was your birthday. Wanna know the really fucked up part about it all? His paddle has holes drilled into it.

homesweethomeMrL ,

That’s a slapstick

Lexam ,

This is overreacting. I was beat as a child and I only need minimal therapy now.

homesweethomeMrL ,

But but but . . . hitting solves problems!

Just ask the guy who invented it . . . Hitler.
