Re: Punishing kids (trigger warning)

I actually would rather not cite that because I'm an assistant teacher, not a head teacher, and I have absolutely no control over the discipline here. Corporal punishment is still practiced in some schools here, which I don't agree with at all. At my school, it's not, but the main form of punishment is yelling at and humiliating kids, which I'm pretty ambivalent on. That is, I have yelled once or twice, and I've seen the value in mildly embarrassing a kid if that's something that will work on that kid. But I see teachers really screaming at kids over basically nothing and I find it really hard to take.

Personally, I support the American idea of after-school detention or other kinds of productive punishment in schools.

What are productive punishments?

I mean things that will require the kid to be productive like extra homework or classroom chores. For something like bullying, that's more difficult... but yelling and hitting is probably not going to fix that shit either.

Your version of productive punishment wouldn't have worked for me lol. I liked doing chores and extra homework. Anyway, I don't think any kind of punishment would fix bullying because punishment rarely address why the kid is bullying others.

My parents punished me by STOPPING ME from doing any reading for recreation.

I was a weird child.

tbh I see humiliation and yelling as ten times worse than something like spanking. It would've fucked my world up when I was younger.

I agree with an anon below that basically said that you have to tailor discipline to the child's needs. Some kids respond better to certain types, some won't. Like productive punishments really pissed one of my friends off. He worked better with stern lecture/disappointment types.

Wow, so humiliating is accepted but few slaps on the butt aren't? Talk about different standards. But then again, I've noticed that USA is a culture of constant shaming and humiliation as a whole (not individually).

I guess it's like that joke we have here about USA. If a female teacher hugs a boy here, it'll be a sign of comfort. If it happens in states, then the boy would scream and spend years in therapy.

Uh, I actually don't live or work in the US, so this entire comment is a misfire.
