Re: Discipline Chart for Classroom Management
Posted by Amy on 3/26/08

    I teach 12th grade English at a suburban high school that
    uses corporal punishment. When I started several years
    ago, I was skeptical about paddling and did not use it in my
    class. I had some discipline problems, including many
    tardies.

    Last year I went to a discipline system for tardies that
    applies equally to all students:

    1st tardy = warning

    2nd tarding = choice of paddling (2 swats) or 2 hours
    detention

    3rd tardy = choice of paddling (3 swats) or 3 hours detention

    4th tardy = choice of paddling (5 swats) or ISS

    5th tardy = trip to office

    This has worked surprisingly well. Tardies are down by over
    half. Somewhat surpisingly, most all students choose the
    swats. We paddle the students in the hall outside the
    class. I paddle the girls as our district suggests a female
    teacher administer corporal punishment to female students
    and a male coach down the hall paddles the boys. Usually
    about 5-10 paddlings are requried per week. I have noticed
    that virtually no students are tardy the day after a
    paddling occurs!

    I am not sure why this works so well, but it certainly
    does. Many students get swats at some point during the
    year, but rarely is it necessary more than once for the same
    student, especially girls.
