Agonizing Whack Advantages

Corporal punishment, as a measure of correction or of maintaining discipline and order in schools, is permitted. However, it shall be used only when all other alternative means of discipline have failed, and then only in reasonable form and upon the recommendation of the principal. If found necessary, it shall be administered by a certificated administrator in the presence of a witness who is an employee of the school district. It should never be inflicted in the presence of other pupils, nor without a witness. Corporal punishment shall be administered only by swatting the buttocks with a paddle. When it becomes necessary to use corporal punishment, it shall be administered so that there can be no chance of bodily injury or harm. Striking a student on the head or face is not permitted. The teacher or principal shall submit a report to the superintendent, explaining the reason for the use of corporal punishment as well as the details of the administration of the same.

Mike Rose experienced a few teachers who used corporal punishment to control their classrooms. Brother Dill for example he describes as a “troubled and unstable man who also taught freshman English. When his class drifted away form him, which was often, his voice would rise in paranoid accusations, and occasionally he would lose control and shake or smack us.” (Rose 25) Rose also described his physical education who would use violence to “make men out of us.” (Rose 25)

Chapter Three, entitled Bribes and Threats, from Beyond Discipline discussed many different tools such as coercion, punishment, and rewards being used for disciplining. These specific tools are counterintuitive and result in temporary compliance or even sometimes extreme behaviors. Because of these tools being used, it leads to disastrous outcomes and makes the teachers and schools uninviting and unproductive.

According from the figure 2, there are two main methods in retakaful which are the facultative and treaty. Facultative methods are only affected in special cases and placed on the basis of individual risk, for example, individual families, group families or mortgage takaful. While, the second method is the treaty where a takaful operator agrees to sue within a certain period of time, and retakaful the operator agrees to accept all risks included in the terms of the retakaful contract up to a certain amount. Both methods are acknowledged by Item 4 of Shari’ah Standard No. 41, AAOIFI 2010.

For instance, “Miss Doyle made it a rule never to tolerate interruptions or careless behaviors in her class.”(Choy p.391). Miss Doyle is not tolerating any bad attitude in her class, that’s why she’s being strict to her class for them to respect her and improve the children’s discipline in their self. In addition, during Miss Doyle class, “ in training us, she never hesitated to use her desk ruler repeatedly on our burning backsides, nor was she slow to engage the leather strap on our stinging bare hands” (Choy p. 392). She always want her student to be scared to her so that the student will focus to her and learn and to make themselves discipline in any ways. She is just using the leather strap just to get the students attention in the class. Therefore, Wayson Choy utilizes the classroom as symbolic representation of how Ms. Doyle discipline her

During the 1900’s, corporal punishment was well known and often used to punish and teach children effectively. Philosophers like John Locke express insightful views about forcing a child to learn, rather than allowing the child to freely do so at his or her own pace. Imagine two children learning the same topic of mathematics. One child is introduced to mathematics through counting apples and pears and is allowed to eat the fruits afterwards, whereas the other child is forced to learn mathematics through textbooks with minimum visualization and finds no fun in doing so. The child who is counting through fruits is getting positive feedback because of his ability to quickly catch on and the child who is learning through a textbook is gaining negative feedback because of the complicated material that does not allow for him to grasp the concept or freely make mistakes. Forcing children to learn what they need to in order to keep up a standard level of education for each age group (like the textbook example) can negatively affect the child, their wellbeing, and their self-esteem. When a child is forced to learn unwillingly, he may grow resentful towards members of authority and fear failure, hindering his social skills. A balance between leading the child through encouragement towards the right direction and allowing him to explore his options will help the child to grow up happy and to create a positive impact on the current society.

A teacher taps a ruler in front of a student on his/her desk. After the third tap, the teacher hits the kid on the head with flat edge of the ruler. The student recoils from the ruler in pain. (This would never happen now because it would get reported. It was okay in the 1970s, but it is 2016 and teachers can’t hit students anymore.) This repeatedly happens over the course of a month. Soon, the student cringes even when he/she doesn’t get hit by the teacher.

Have you ever been spanked, when you were a child? Do you remember how it felt? Did it have an effect on your attitude as you grew older? Now, when you look back at it, do you think it was a good thing? I have interviewed three random college students that have been spanked when they were a child. Even though spanking may be an example of physical abuse, I believe it is positive and not as serious as hitting with a fist or object. The following gives examples of how students felt during the time being spanked, how their behavior was after being spanked, and how being spanked affected his/her life.

Movie critic Matthew Pejkovic says, “Video game to movie adaptations are known to be historically bad. Warcraft doesn't quite break that trend, but it is a solid step forward.” Warcraft’s plot was amazing, it had some pros with it’s plot being one of them, but in the end the cons outweighed the pros by a lot. Although many people believe that Warcraft was an outstanding movie, Warcraft got a below average rating at an underwhelming twenty-nine percent out of one hundred percent from Rotten Tomatoes.

The truth of real life is there, but it is dated. In the past, students were able to be physically “paddled” for behavior issues.

Schools should avoid using paddling as a punishment against students. One major reason is that paddling a student promotes the idea that violence is the way to solve problems. According to the article “Paddle Battle” in Junior Scholastic, hitting a student tells them it “is an acceptable way to change other people’s behavior, to express disapproval, or to solve problems”[17]. This is a complete opposite of what is taught to children. Starting at a young age, a child is told not to hit other people, yet to hit them in school as a punishment is hypocritical and undermines that lesson. Furthermore, paddling inspires fear in students, not respect. Deborah Sendek, in an article in Junior Scholastic, says that an environment where a student

It is a fact that classroom management and discipline has always been a challenge to pre-service teachers as they do not know and have not acquired the necessary skills to deal with unruly learners effectively. Often so, teachers in service use strategies that are incorrect or rather unacceptable; whether this is done intentionally or under certain desperation to gain control and respect of the learners. It is prevalent across the globe. Although the South African system has used corporal punishment for many years to maintain discipline and management in the classroom; there have always been other alternative ways which are effective and better as opposed to the harsh way of discipline. The Constitution of South Africa specifically banned the use of this harsh treatment because of the awareness that children are vulnerable and defenceless; therefore they are the ones who are at risk of being victims of crime, beatings and psychological trauma that are an ultimate result of being bullied by adults. My claim is that strategies used to maintain classrooms in public schools are not acceptable if they cause a negative effect to the development of our children. And I will argue that there are other alternatives that could be used to make sure that the classes run smooth and without causing any intimidation to either the learners or teachers in this industry, as the South African Journal of Education mentions that

Children are like flowers, if well taken care of they will bloom. If ignored or tortured, they will wither and die. Child discipline is one of the most important elements of successful parenting. Today, many people have this notion that physical abuse is in no way a solution to helping children discern between right and wrong. Since generations children have been taught the art of discipline through physical punishment. Often this approach to disciplining has resulted in two outcomes, one is where the child becomes more tolerant and is willing to adhere to what he/she has been told, or the other which more often results in children developing a sense of anguish and desire to revolt.

In spite of having the suspicious word “hack” in their term, life hacks are actually beneficial in nature, and don’t require any form of actual electronic hacking to work. Because they save time and free up (and even make) space, and because they require little effort and the simplest of things to work, life hacks are usable and doable by virtually anyone, including kids! Here are but a few of the plethora of useful life hacks that you can use with your kids around the house for extra convenience:
