Ridiculous School Discipline

Honestly, this blog was going to be about a Tyra show this week. But Dr. Phil's show on Friday quickly changed my mind. On the show, he talked about school discipline getting out of control. Remember being paddled in elementary or middle school? Or remember just simply being sentenced to a week of detention, missing recess, or being suspended for 5 days? Well how about being locked in a room by your teacher? Or being verbally abused by your teacher? Or being stripped searched by your teacher?

Here's what I think....
I don't care what happens in a school. The only discipline that should be enforced is some kind of detention or something of that nature. But (excuse the slang) I'll be hot dern if anybody from any school is going to lock my child in a room, verbally abuse my child, hit my child, or strip search them as a form of punishment. I'd be raising straight hell in that school system. That is just ridiculous for schools to allow that to happen. I remember my 1st year in middle school, my principal was on the news for paddling a student. Up to that point, I thought schools stopped paddling. All I know is whoever did those horrible things to those students need a beating too!

But that's just my opinion....what do you think??
