Granted both teachers actions was wrong in most eyes. Not that I am taking up for them but a lot of teachers hands are tied. Some schools do not allow paddling and if they do it must be done by the office with permission of the parent. You cannot decipline students the same way that teachers could when we were in school. They should have tried other methods whether the parents were willing to cooperate or not. There are better ways to handle disruptive behavior. Teachers are only human. Their actions may not have been professional or right but they do have a need for more methods of descripline rather than only being able to say ” Now Johnny don’t do that.”
