Why do we need Coroporal Punshiment in the schools?

I truly feel that if we all banned together as a "family" ... teachers and parents to alleviate "bad" behavior, it will help kids to grow up knowing that there will be circumstances or punishment for things that they do wrong.  Society has gotten too soft in my opinion ... that's why more and more children are growing up without caring what they do in society, like lying, cheating and stealing.

Art is universal, it is what we are as a people, our universe. Where literature personifies us, art captures our image, our exprssion, our environment, it is the soul of humanity. Art must stay in schools without a question. It is soothing and it is a great way to vent feelings and express ideas and views. I could not imagine a school not offering art to its students. It is of paramount importance in their overall development both cognitive and personal!!

Because our society is co-ed. The purpose of public education is not simply to teach children knowledge, but rather to prepare children to become productive members of society. By including both sexes in schooling children learn how to build relationships with both sexes.

I never heard of chewing gum debates. You mean like whether kids should be allowed to chew gum in class? Try typing it in Google.

Lots of reasons. Mainly though, the people that control the curriculum in public schools do NOT want you to be able to protect yourself. That makes you easier to control, and force into complying with situations which you wouldn't tolerate if you had the ability to resist.

our teachers do the same thing........the main reason why is beacuse the students at our school disrespect the teachers by walkin out of class, cusin at the techers, hittin teachers, and too much more.........but teachers are not allowed to curse at students though

I think that it is extremely important. People need to feel like it's OK to put themselves out there and make a mistake. It's impossible to learn anything without goofing up every once in a while. Creating this kind of environment boils down to one thing, respect. If you respect your students, and don't tolerate your other students disrespecting each other it will facilitate their learning.

They are a few of MANY strategies teachers use to facilitate learning.\n\nI can talk about frying eggs all day.  I can have my students read and write about it.  We can watch a video about it.  Then, I can let the students fry eggs.\n\nReplace "frying eggs" with many other tasks -- swimming, photography, powerpoint, changing the oil in a car, conducting scientific experiements, etc -- the activity adds to the potential learning.\n\nGet it?

I am a teacher and I usually teach in u-shaped rooms where the students face me with their desks in front of me. Generally, I may correct something as they're writing it, and have no problems or difficulty doing it (my handwriting is a little bit words but still quite legible). It was only when students commented on this 'ability' with amazement that it occurred to me that not all people can do it. But I've never practised or made an effort or anything. The surprised students then tried it and made a pig's ear out of it.\n\nI'm male, BTW. But I am left-handed. Maybe that's got something to do with it?\n\nOr maybe you and I are just both incredible geniuses who tower over the rest of humanity with our gifts!

Life is not only about spouting facts and doing paperwork. It is also about creativity (we wouldn't have anything without people being creative/inventive). Not only that, but Art provides additional support, emphasis, and reinforcement for certain essential skills used in core academics: observation, attention to detail, visual-perceptual skills, hand-eye coordination, patience, etc.\n\nIt is a very important part of education, and should be included in every school.

No way, dude. It is not like we're in English class together under an observant teacher's presence revising each other's papers. Spelling comes in helpful when trying to make yourself look good in formal or business relations. However, this Yahoo! Answers thing isn't a formal thing. Or is it?\nThose who go stray off topic by correcting your spelling should be corrected for not answering your question...now that's actually a real issue when it comes to informal communication!

Because it takes the attention off wardrobe.  It helps alleviate the problems with "I have this and you don't". It ensures equality among the students-at least as far as the clothes go.  But, don't get me wrong, when I was in school, I would have been furious if they changed us to uniforms.  I don't think I would have cared if it had been the norm the whole time.

Education is absolutely important in communication. (Heck, you even spelled Illeterate wrong. Caps also imply screaming so tone down okay?) Sorry, I'm in a heckling mood here cos Elliot got booted!\n\nHow else is education important? Well, it enriches you. You gain knowledge, learn how the world is, learn how history was, learn the beauty of art, science, humanities. Education exists not for the sole purpose of posting profiles on line but for us to tap into. We learn basic mathematical calculations & problem solving skills. This helps us tackle issues in life with our vast store of knowledge. Real fulfillment comes from listening to a masterpiece or viewing beauty as interpreted in a painting through an artist's eye. What can beat that! It is all about balance (of ignorance vs knowledge) so learn to appreciate education and the vast opportunities it affords us to open our minds.

To make sure the students learn...like spelling "weekends" correctly :) j/k\n\nIt also helps with training the student in time management. When you're in college...the teachers aren't going to care if you do your homework or not. You're going to be on your own. It's good practice for the "real world". Later on there will be projects that need to be completed and will require weekend work.

Because teachers are incompetent at doing things that require following guidelines.  We should make our children learn to be just like them.
