https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/georgia-parents-asked-sign-consent-paddle-form-charter-school-reinstates-corporal-punishment-163410404.html

A charter school in Georgia started a new year by revisiting old disciplinary policies and then sending consent forms to parents asking for permission to paddle students.

Administrators at the Georgia School for Innovation and the Classics sent a letter home to parents to inform them of the corporal punishment policy being put in place, according to WRDW in Augusta. However, parents still have to sign the form before their children are subject to paddling. The form says that the kindergarten-through-ninth grade students will be subject to a three strike policy, promising that the punishment wont be administered until a students third offense.

Other guidelines within the policy say that a parent will be notified that the child is being paddled before the student is brought into an office with closed doors, where they will place their hands on their knees or on a piece of furniture and be subjected to no more than three licks of the wooden paddle.

The districts superintendent, Jody Boulineau, told WRDW that a little over 100 forms have been returned, with nearly one-third of parents consenting to the policy. If consent isnt given, parents must agree to the alternative of up to five days of suspension.

Although this form of discipline hasnt been seen in public schools for years, paddling is still a legal form of punishment in Georgia and 19 other states, WRDW reports.

There was a time where corporal punishment was kind of the norm in school, and you didnt have the problems that you have, Boulineau told the local news outlet. Its just one more tool that we have in our disciplinary toolbox that we can use.

Boulineau didnt immediately respond to Yahoo Lifestyles request for comment. However, WRDW reports that he believes paddling wont be used often. Instead, the school will rely on the threat of corporal punishment to alleviate issues with students.

As long as the parents sign consent forms I don't see a problem with it.

A lot of parents nowadays want everyone else to raise their children for them. Fair next.

I wonder how long it takes them to stop the policy once all the shithead students start moaning as a form of disobedience when they get paddled.

In my area you'd get the paddle. Once you got to middle/jr. High school they didn't do that anymore. At our intermediate school (5-6 grades) they even had one with holes in it. This was a little more than 15 years ago.

It seemed to never work though. It was always the same kids that would get a paddling and they never stopped being little shits afterwards.

well yeah, all research on spanking comes to an overwhelming consensus that it's not an effective form of discipline

My lord. Don't be so over dramatic. Is it effective? Short term? Yes. Long term? No. Inhumane? Let's not get carried away
