Understandably the use of corporal punishment has been done away with in the majority of public schools across our country, but in some rare instances I would love to see it made legal if only for one day out of each year. Hence...the following blog will describe the power of a well placed throat punch. There are several advantages to a throat punch landed with precision. The first being that unlike a strike to the face, a punch to the throat will always leave the victim incapacitated. Secondly, a direct punch to the throat has the immediate effect of stunning and often interrupting the victim's breathing patterns. Additionally, the well placed throat attack does the greatest thing of all which is to render the victim incapable of speaking for up to 20 minutes if done correctly.
In all seriousness there seems to have been a tremendous breakdown in discipline in the homes of so many of the students we are charged with teaching each day. Was I afraid of my teachers when I was in middle school? No. The thing I was afraid of was my teachers letting my father know that I had misbehaved. That was the worse, because I knew I would be dealt with instantly and severely. Today, that sense of parental fear and respect is absent in our students. It has gotten to the point with some students that I do not even call their parents anymore, because I've realized it is a complete waste of time.
There is nothing wrong with the education that public schools offer, and in most cases, there is nothing wrong with the teachers teaching. The problem I've noticed the most since I began teaching is the fact that our student's parents want us as teachers to be their child's parents. The catch is that parents want teachers to educate and be a parent to their child, but seemingly want it done without the use of nearly any type of discipline.
Thanks for reading my rant...and I promise you I would never actually hit a student...I don't think I would anyway. :)
