Elementary School Handbook EXPOSED for PROMOTING BULLYING

[stopschoolpaddling]

WHO REALLY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CHILDREN BULLYING CHILDREN TO DEATH?

GAY STUDENTS IN 20 STATES IN GRAVE DANGER, MORE BULLIES TRAINED EVERYDAY!



I received a copy of the Leslie Elementary School Handbook
and I have some questions regarding it.

On 26 of your handbook, under the heading of Weapons
and Dangerous Instruments it states that you define a weapon as " any
instrument capable of causing bodily harm."

Please refer to the pictures at www.nospank.net/a7-05.pdf and
explain why by your own definition you are using weapons on children's
bodies?

After that please explain this statement from page 5 listed
under Searcy County School District Staff Responsibilities. "Maintain
a positive and safe learning environment."

In light of the above facts how is this achieved?

On page 23 under the heading "Prohibited Conduct" it states that
"willfully and intentionally assaulting or threatening to assault or
physically abusing any student or school employee" is prohibited.

Why is this prohibited for students but not the staff?

And lastly on page 14 it states that "bullying is defined as any
written or verbal expression or PHYSICAL ACT OR GESTURE or pattern
thereof that is intended to cause distress or fear upon one or more
students."

It then states that "Bullying is prohibited."

Please explain how striking a child on the buttocks with a wooden
board does not cause distress or fear and explain in detail why it is prohitbited for students
and is permitted, modeled, and promoted by school staff ?

Please explain why it is called "bullying"
when a student does this and not when your staff commits this act.

Your prompt attention and response to this letter is requested.
Failure to respond in a timely manner will result in the assumption
that you can not produce the answers to these questions.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

1. Please don't tell there is a school where they are still hitting ?

Literally tons of paper is needed to contain the amount of researsh into the physical, mental and emotional harm caused by "corporal punishment. Gads! When you hit an amimal you get a mean animal - same goes for humans. Un-f-ing believable!!!!!

[stopschoolpaddling]

3. It's true...email me if you want to help stop them...

[e-mail]

I am currently email blasting this article to every newstation and newspaper I can. Words are straight out of the handbook

I received last week. To read pure filth see first part of article below... Anyone who can promote this video please do. This

is the video that might get the job done to finally ban corporal punishment...to force Bill HR5628 Ban Corporal Punishment in

Schools Act through Congress... Our very own Dept. of Education Committee Chairman George Miller has failed to sign it...

and all republicans, of course.

You Can END the BEATINGS George Miller!!!

I received a copy of the Leslie Elementary School Handbook yesterday
and I have some questions regarding it.

First of all, on page 25, under the heading Corporal Punishment it
states that "If such punishment is "required" it will be administered
with "tact"."

# 1, Given that the definition for "required" is to claim as a right
(Webster's Dictionary) Who or what gives you the right to strike a
child with a wooden board?" By what authority?

# 2, Given that the definition for "tact" is "fine understanding and
nice discernment with delicate skill in saying or doing the right
thing" (Webster's Dictionary) Please explain to me in "fine" detail
how you are "delicately striking children on the buttocks with a
wooden board?

On this same page of the handbook it states that "Corporal punishment
will be administered in the office of the principal or other
designated place."

# 3, What is the "other designated place"?

On this same page of the handbook it states that "the principal or his
or her designee will administer corporal punishment".

# 4, Who are the designees and/or what is required to be one?
On this same page of the handbook it states that "consideration will
be given as to the age of child, sex of child, and size of child."

# 5, How is this done without being discriminatory? What exactly is
the true meaning of this statement? What are the "considerations"
that are being made?

On this same page of the handbook it states that "School principal or
teacher who has admininstered corporal punishment" ect.

# 6, Am I right to assume that the principal and any teacher may
administer corporal punishment? Where do the principal and teachers
become certified to perform this duty? Who is monitoring their
qualifications for performing corporal punishment?

On this same page of the handbook it states that "It is the policy of
Leslie Elementary that parents are not to witness corporal punishment.

# 7, Why not?

On this same page of the handbook it states that " The Searcy County
School Board of Education does allow "reasonable" corporal punishment
of students.

# 8 What is the difference between reasonable and unreasonable
corporal punishment? Please describe in detail how these two differ.

(I signed that I received it and where a student signiture was required I stated
that it was obscene and that I don't allow my children to receive inappropriate
reading material)

The principal in an effort to silence me told me last week that the teachers
are CONSIDERING hiring an attorney to sue me for slander for apparently
damaging their good name in the community and spreading UNTRUTHS about them.
I call them child abusers. I say to them "Who needs untruths, the truth
is ugly enough."

Nobody wants to go to school tomorrow. My kids are 7,8, and 9 years old.
"Why?" I ask. "We hate school" they say. I say "I'm sorry."

2. is this a private school?

i went to a private christian school for 2 years where they used a "paddle." and it's not right at all but at least parents were aware of that before allowing their children to attend. if this is a public school, i can't imagine how that's legal.

[stopschoolpaddling]

4. Public school still legal in 20 states

every 20 seconds a child will be beaten at a U.S. school during school hours,

every four minutes a child will be beaten so badly they will require medical attention...

I myself had never heard of it before moving to Arkansas

[jancantor]

5. It's legal in WA state

fwiw. I am not aware of any public school that DOES it. Policy prohibits it. But by law, a teacher has the same authority to use physical discipline on a student, as a parent has on their child.
