How far should teachers be allowed to go to discipline unruly students?

As far as parents are allowed to "go" in disciplining their children. There are clear laws around child abuse and neglect. Those are the limits... period.

In Korea, where I teach, many schools are allowed to beat their students. At my school, we don't do that. My classroom has a 'three strike, you're out policy'.

If I see a kid out of line or openly disrespecting me, I tell them 'that's one. Three, you're out'. If my kids get kicked out of the classroom, I make them stand outside, nose to the wall, with their arms above their head.

I like the punishment because its physical, it hurts a bit, but I'm not beating them. I feel that thats important.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
