As school worker there are parts of the body that none of us wish to invade.

This is only done then by the Teacher who is Health and Safety and first aider with us present. On account would a child be smacked on the buttocks in school...
If that ever happens its either another child doing in the playground which we intervine and report the incident or its parents at home. I have never needed to smack in these areas infact I have only needed to smack my son once on his leg for kicking repeatedly at his sister while she was on the floor. I was worried he was becoming ADHD and asked for him to be checked. The one slap stopped him kicking her and seemed to change his behavior the results was he didn't have the disorder. So on slap sorted teh problem that could have been dangerous if left.
Each child is different and some are a lot worse than others some have been beaten and no matter how much they was caned they wouldn't responed others have been shouteed at so much by their parents they do not responed to being shouted at. Special treats do not always work as some feel its being paid to improve and don't want to change it makes them feel big to have the lessons in the class disrupted making others in their class miss important information.
The latest punishment in schools I do disagree with as it punishes those who have done nothing wrong. The whole class misses playtime and school trips for a few children who don't care. I really do feel sad for the good ones and can see there point of view why should they be good when they are going to get punished for the few that miss behave.
I know there will always be those for and those against just as there will be those who work in schools and see the unfair treatment used to try and get these children to behave and conform to rules.
