School Punishing Students For Refusing RFID Tracking

[Zarathustra[H]]

Let's get back on track just a little.

The argument here is someone claiming spanking a child = violence.

Somehow, we have raised a generation or two in this country that don't understand that discipline can be physical and NOT = violence.

Can you even understand that you can spank a child and almost be in tears yourself for having to do it? You are doing it precisely BECAUSE you love them and have to instill discipline. Is the concept of love in discipline completely gone from the world?

The very act of hitting (spanking) is an act of violence. Any slapping, banging, hitting etc. is violence. Any intentional infliction of pain is violence.

Now, it may be justified violence, based on the circumstances, but that's another debate all together.

Keep in mind, I never stated that corporeal punishment should be off the table all together. It is a last resort tool to correct self destructive behavior in an adolescent.

But it is a LAST RESORT tool. When everything else has failed, and when exercised, as to be explained as such, and done in an as objective as possible manner.

It can never be done in anger. Then it does more harm than good.
