I have never been a fan of corporal punishment of young kids at school. I always felt that if a child is out of control enough to interfere with other children’s learning, then just remove the problem. Let the parents administer the discipline.

The mother in this case claims that the school threatened her with jail and suspension of her son if this wasn’t allowed to happen. It that is the case, maybe the state needs to step in here and have a look at what is going on.

The school’s policy apparently says that if paddling is to happen, it will be with parental consent. If the mother is to be believed, then that wasn’t the case here.
