When I first saw this story, I thought it was another paedophile at work.

No, he uses tennis balls not dog bones...

The topic came up at a social event, a heap of the mums and dads admitted they had bitten their little angels back to cure them of biting, they all said it worked, - although one said she was mortified the next day when they went to the supermarket and could see the bite-marks she had inflicted on her darlings arm where all could see them
(Mental note - only bite where it can't be seen).

My brothers partner has a sister with 2 devil children, one of which used to bite my brothers daughter whenever she felt like it, and this went on for 18 months till one day the brat bit so hard, she drew blood (5 yrs old btw), so my brother, seeing that the softcock parents would do nothing about it, grabbed the child and returned with a bite of his own.

Brat child has never bitten anyone to this day.

Fuck the bullshit Politically correct, no smacking brigade, with their "super nanny" way of pussy footing around the obvious. A short sharp clip round the ear works better than any form of diversion/ coercion crap. I'm not against dialogue with children, as it is a very very powerful tool as well, but words need accompanying actions to give them weight imo.

You dirty old man

This pisses me off, this kid goes around biting kids, I mean BITING people, thats pretty nasty shit, with the bruising, and the owchies etc etc. anyway. so he bites this kid and the principal has some balls and disciplines the little shit, and the mother wants to take him to court ffs! a good smack upside the head would have been appropriate.

BRING BACK CORPORAL PUNISHMENT!

Good call pyro!

[APPLE]

yeh man ,kick his ass?

[myvice]

tsk tsk tsk...

edit - the dog bone thing is over the top, but the little critter needs to be immediately accountable for his actions. A problem I see with the current "view" on punishment is that it's not immediate (like a smack or a cane). It' writing out lines, a drawn out experience that is reasonably removed from the crime itself.

Not allowed to make em write out lines anymore as it can make writing look like a punishment and be detrimental to the education of the child.
My son (14) recommends pegs on the eyelids for minor infringements and a shock collar for others!
I don’t know where he gets these violent tendencies, probably some kid at his school, that damn kid needs to be walled up for a month or two to teach him about empathy for others!

Did anyone read about that idiot woman, she was a doctor and a mother, which for some reason makes her a total bitch staight off, is taking one of our state schools up on human rights violation over the reading of the lords prayer, mediation failed, and even tho 93% of parents were happy for the prayer to continue to be read at the beginning of the schools weekly assembly, (which was more about a 30 y.o. tradition than religion) and the bitches kids have left the school, she is still going on a lone crusade to stop the school reading the prayer, this PC bullshit has gone to far, most normal people are sick of it, it's just all these "mothers against..." idiots with a superiority complex that are fucking this world up for the rest of us, what next? mothers against motorbikes? anyone for some burnouts on there front lawns? haha, this reminds me of a teacher i had a school, he had a strap from back in the day, which he had had framed in a fire extinguisher style case, which had printed accross the front "in case of emergency break glass" haha he was a good cunt, he was the only teacher i ever had who actually openly swore in front of us, so many good memories of that guy!

In a year I will be a teacher, and I could not hit a child in my class no matter what they did. I believe that punnishment needs to be constructive and if a child is hit for hitting then they will continue to think that it is ok... they will see someone doing something wrong in the play ground and hit them to make them stop, believe me I have seen it and this is the response I got!
Corporal Punnishment was removed for a reason, and even if it was still in place I would refuse to do it. I was never smacked as a child so I can see that there are other ways to change a childs behaviour. In my two years at uni we have had a lot of discussions regarding this topic!! But making a child put a bone in their mouth infront of the class is not something a Principal should make a child do.

Should have shut the little shit in a cupboard, left the door open and had a big nasty biting type dog at the door - and told the turd to bite his way out of THAT one..

This maybe your opinion and you're entitled to it, but it is exactly the bullshit that is encouraging these repulsive little brats. When we got the cane, it never told us we could hit other people. Just the opposite.
While your pissng around with one of these kids, trying to nicely modify his behaviour, what's happening to all the other kids that want to learn?

[KLOWN]

For sure but in saying that I'd get more than a little "assertive" if someone smacked my kids even if he/she/they did something smackable. That is my job and only mine. Have come across too many righteous teachers in the past that thought theirs ways were the only ways.
Good on the principal for punishing the little fark but I believe he chose the wrong punishment. But what the heck can they do these days? They seem to have their hands tied.
The mother appears to be an idiot too...hence the bitin' Give her the bone...these things aren't learnt in the home.

The problem with that view is that it means your kid can get away with anything he likes if your not there, if only u are allowed to punish him. It's why all these little gangsters are around, thier parents won't punish them and other people can't cause thier parents will try to bash them. If your kids are doin somthing wrong they need to be punished by the closest possible person. Not in an inappropriate way though.

A good teacher is one who can control a whole classroom without having to be in the room, it's all about respect. If the class knows that when you are out of the room or are busy that they are expected to be still working or they will be kept in after class to finish their work, then they will continue doing their work. Consequences need to be put in place and carried out whenever needed, but I believe that they should be constructive, not destructive... but yeah that is just my opinion! And I know that a lot of people on the outside will disagree with me about this, but they are not the ones who would actually be the ones caining someone elses child

The reality is going to come as a horrible shock, I think.
Unless you get a nice safe decile 1 school, but then you'll have a whole different set of issues to think about. Like parents suing you if you speak harshly to their little sweetheart.
