[QUOTE="CCRidr2, post: 87385, member: 3714"] I wish I could say that I was surprised that it is in the school's code. I found that out a few years back when difficult child was in 1st grade and going into public school for the first time. With easy child 1&2, we never had a need to read the discipline code. I felt I had to with difficult child so that I would know the proper steps. You will find that in the small print of [i]most[/i] SD's "rules" that it IS within their "rights" to corporally punish a child. You have to send a note to school if you DO NOT want your school to use corporal punishment on your child. Fortunately it is not used as much today as it was when we were in school (remember "the paddle") so a lot of people just think it isn't done these days or that it is illegal. It is not. I would encourage everyone to read their SD's discipline policies very carefully. You should have received a "rights and responsibilities" booklet or something like it with a page to sign and return saying you read it. I used to just sign it and send it back, I never read it. Now I check it every year for revisions before I sign that form because I don't want to be the one told by SD that ignorance of the policy doesn't mean it can't be done. I send a note to school every year to the effect that if my child needs a beating [img]:wink:[/img] I will be the one to do it and they should call me. [/QUOTE]
