Georgia School Brings Back Paddling as a Form of Punishment for Its Students

According to the Charter School in Hefeva, Georgia, a local news agency WRDW / WAGT, there is a policy of penalizing students.

According to local reports Georgia State Innovation Classical Institute (GSIC) asked their parents to send consent and ask children to accept corporal punishment in class.

Jody Boulineau, director of WRDW / WAGT, says:

GSIC is a school from kindergarten to ninth grade at Augusta Metro District which is open in 2015. Students do not have to accept the new boat play policy as punishment. Boulineau said: "Parents can either agree to use it as a disciplinary action or refuse to agree.

Boulineau told the WRDW / WAGT that response to controversial policies ranged from approval to impact. "I heard that it is wonderful, now it has come and I am very glad that this will happen again and they should never take it out of school." Do this. "

The specific content of this policy is listed in the form of WRDW / WAGT News Report - sent to home. According to the document, for the students the parents agree, paddling will manage the "three blow" policy. "The students will be taken to a closed office, the students put their hands on the knees and furniture and clap their buttocks with the paddle," the table explains.

This format states that penalties should be imposed in the case of "witnesses of adults appearing in courts" and "they must not be more than three times". You need to contact the students' parents and use a specific type of paddle. It must be "wood of length 24 inches, width 6 inches, thickness 3/4 inch".

To exempt corporal punishment, parents need to agree to use a 5 day outage policy rather than a paddle.

Boulineau told WRDW / WAGT that about one-third of the papers received so far agreed to the padding policy.

"To be honest, I think this is something I do not use much," Boulineau told a local news station. "Because it is deterrent itself, sometimes it is just a threat."

The Georgia State Innovation and Classics Institute (GSIC) is a charter school from kindergarten to ninth grade. Education chief Jody Boulineau told WRDW that about 100 parents sent back the form and one third of the students agreed to paddle their children. Boulineau said parents can refuse to grant school permission. The form sent to the house explains the steps the school uses to paddle to train the children. "Students will be taken to a closed office, students will put their hands on their knees and furniture and hit their buttocks with a paddle," WRDW says. Students paddle after the third attack. The same format also states that "It should not be given within 3 times."

Today, 21 states in the United States acknowledge corporal punishment at school. Corporal punishment usually takes the form of paddling (also known as "slap", "啪啪" or "舔"). Teachers or administrators usually shake hardwood paddles 1.5 feet in length from 3 to 10 times for children's ass. A Mississippi teacher said, "The principal can row corridors, classrooms, and band rooms, he will patrol the corridor with a paddle." Students are subject to corporal punishment due to various illegal acts including minors. Cheating gum, late arrival, sleep in class, conversation with teacher, infringement of clothing regulations, or going to the bathroom without permission
