What’s your take on this?

She should be fired. Can’t see how this particular punishment helps anything. She degraded a 6 year old girl…to me that was the worst part. The beating was probably too hard for a 6 year old. I personally wouldn’t want anyone striking my child. Too many weirdos out there today to trust others with that.

No way I would recorded this and let it happen though. I’m all about discipline but this principal is awful at her job. After talking to my daughter like that she wouldn’t have laid a finger on my daughter. The mother shouldn’t have allowed it either, but not sure what options she has as far as schooling.

I thought I’d watch the video and take the principal’s side to be honest. But she lost her cool for sure and should never speak to a 6 year old like that.

is the mom complicit though? I don’t disagree that the spanking should not of happened, but on the other hand the mom stood by and watched it happen and didn’t do anything to try to stop it.

How many here over the age of 45 got there ass whipped at school by the principle? Maybe irrelevant to this particular story but I'm assuming no kids these days get whipped at school.

I did. But school was a different beast back in those days. There’s not a chance in Hades I would turn over the discipline of my child to public school administrators today.
 
True that...If she was so pissed you would have thought she would have stepped in and stop it

unfortunately, the media just latched onto the moms sob story, overlooking that very obvious fact that she was standing there the entire time watching it all transpire AND videoing it on her cell phone without making any attempt whatsoever to intervene, even though there was plenty of time to step in and stop it.

I see that point. I tried to think about it if I were in her shoes…the mom should’ve just taken her daughter and left. Absolutely.

But she might have felt an altercation would take place and at a school…they are going to side with the admin every time. She might have feared she’d be arrested. It did sound like they had words before it happened. She should’ve left right away. No doubt. I hope she would’ve handled this differently in hindsight.

either way, the Principal should be fired. It’s also possible she’s doing this to profit. No doubt about it. Very likely that room was full of scumbags and the 6 year old girl was the victim. Probably why she’s having the issues she’s having.

Damn I glad my kids are long gone from school...it just a hot mess now.
 
Not a terribly new story. Haven’t seen if there’s been an update. Mom is upset after her daughter is spanked at school. Understandable. Buuuuuut…the mom videoed it. So she didn’t try to step in and stop it. But she’s mad that it happened.

Mom used her daughter to get paid. She's worse than the principal. What message do you think the daughter takes from this shameful episode?

If i got my ass tore up at school, i could expect another at home that evening. Kinda changed my outlook on acting up. During my youth, the neighbors would get you if you did something and your parents weren't home and then you got another when they did get home. A little whipping today would cure lots of things

Yeah I’m in that category. Happened at home and happened at school. Sometimes it made a difference and sometimes it didn’t.

True...I think my best friends Mom growing up spanked me more then my own Mom. I'm glad I grew up when I did..

BINGO. Same here.

Although in high school we had a Principal (former football coach) who it could be argued took it a bit too far....but he did give us a choice between detention and 3 licks with a swiss cheese paddle. You did NOT take the 3 licks....period!!!
 
No one lays a hand on your child in that situation. Expel her, make her stay after class all week and write stories about what she could be doing if she had behaved properly etc. Times are gone for corporal punishment and I am surprised that a principal would put her self or himself in such a precarious situation.

And what about the mom who stood by and watched it happen?

I did multiple times a d I turned out better for it. And if I got paddled at school then I got paddled at home or serious restriction. But made me learn to respect adults. There is almost zero respect from some kids towards adults which then leads to zero respect for cops and all authority. When you learn that being dumb and doing dumb stuff as a kid has consequences, then you learn real quick that it's gonna hurt when you are being bad.

While I'm not opposed to a good paddling, I can't believe anyone would try that in this cancel culture crazy period?
