Re: Mansfield teacher arrested over All Saints pupil assault

Right now we have children with a lot of power over adults but adults that have little over children you do not need to be a world class brain to work out that will end badly. We all support the right of children to grow up safely but that doesn't mean they should be exempt from all physical punishment and some kids like it or not actually need physical punishment to keep them in line. I was one and speak from experience god how i would have loved growing up now the power i could hve weilded over adults.

We have to realise that if you take the punishments away you take the power to control away with it and thats what we have done and thats why we have a sizeable minority of kids hell bent on making peoples lives miserable because they can and there is damn all we can do about it. I couldn't be a teacher i witness what they have to put up with everyday living across the road from a large secondary school and if i was a teacher i would have a very active night life tracking down some of the little sods i see.

Most kids are and always have been good and a benefit to society but there is and always has been that small group that are trouble and if not nipped in the bud strongly early on will go onto larger trouble making as we are seeing now. I was nipped in the bud and i turned out a lot better then i would have had if the physical punishment wasn't there and thats the thing it doesn't always have to be a negative thing being physically punished and can be very positive if done correctly.

For those whose sole argument against physical punishments is that you allow some adults to go over the top, no you don't and those adults do it regardless and the laws have always been there to dealwith people like that you should not take the option away for all because some will misuse it because lets be honest there are some that will misuse everything but we don't ban everything do we.
