This pisses me off so much

While these kids deserve any punishment meted out, they're an abomination, not the norm. For every kid that ends up in jail, there are hundreds doing just fine.
Beatings, spankings, etc., do little and in fact can backfire. There will always be 'bad seed'-kids who just don't give a rat's ass about themselves or anyone else and feel justified in being sociopathic. It's not because they've been coddled or spoiled-it's because they've never been taught how to act from the beginning. A kid's basic personality is in full gear by the time they're 3; without parental authority and discipline(not just punishing, but learning right from wrong, etc.), those innate personalities can go awry and growing mentally and socially becomes stagnated.
When we neglect our kids, we doom them to something like this.

I see beatings as a way of disciplining someone when you fail to come up with something constructive to help them with. All you're doing is abusing the person, and putting fear into them to not do something, thats not how it should be done. Scare tactics only work negatively.

I dunno about you, but when I got whipped across the back of the knees with a paddle by my parents. I did NOT do that again.

Word it how you want to - when parents discipline with 'abuse' the point gets across stronger, faster, and sticks with the child longer.

I'll bet the problem with these kids that did that to that teacher, is that they received very little to absolutely no discipline at home when they were younger.

Yeah I'm gonna go with the other people who said that physical punishment is the way to go. I'm one of those people who believe that a little ass whoopin' does a body good.

I dont know man. I learned how to be respectful and obey my parents. I turned out just fine and I never got in trouble as a kid. But hey, what worked for me may not work for someone else. :shrug:

You have to see HOW hitting a child makes them not do it again. It strikes fear into them. You are basically terrorizing a child by using fear as a tool. Those are the wrong reasons to make a child stop doing something. If you use basic parenting skills like teaching your child why its wrong, the result would be more positive.

ok gotta give my two cents here. Im not against giving a good swat on the ass if your kid is misbehaving when they are little, and Ive also heard it said many times that since parents arent aloud to spank their children anymore without the risk of getting reported to DHS the kids definitly are alot more unruley, which I tend to agree with. But I think the age of the child, the specific child, and if its your child may have alot to do with it. I wouldnt want anyone else making the decision for me if my child needed a spanking, thats my right as a parent, also some children respond more favorably to you seperating them and knowing that their behavior has disappionted you ,and actually making them accountable for there actions, then actually just hitting them. Case in point, my daughter would much rather have a spank then get sent to her room anyday, she will ask to be spanked rather than be seperated from me, Then there is the kid who just doent care like I was, stubborn to the core, my parents would spank me Id laugh, theyd send me to my room Id sit for an extra day or two just to prove a point I didnt give a shit, obviously I never did anything to that extent. I think with these kids its a parenting issue partly but it is something that needed to be adressed when they were way younger and now is probably not the time that its going to be immediatly fixed with a beating.

Im not saying to just kick his ass. Talk to him first and explain the situation, but if that dont work, then kick that ass.
