Guest Blog – It’s Time To Toss The Trash!
When educators hit students, they set the worst possible example for the general population. The United States stands alone among first world nations in authorizing this kind of child abuse.
We believe it’s time for educational policy makers to establish a higher standard for teacher conduct, and to draw a clear line between what’s okay and what’s not. Assaulting a human being with a board is clearly not okay! The only lesson it teaches is that violence works for the person who is bigger and stronger. That’s not the lesson we should be teaching our children.
