North Carolina School District Bans Corporal Punishment

Rockingham County North Carolina joins 69 other NC districts in banning corporal punishment, the infliction of pain -- usually by paddling or whipping. North Carolina is one of the only places in the developed world that still allows Corporal Punishment in schools. The United States stands alone in industrialized countries that allow CP and NC is one of only 20 US States that allows Corporal Punishment. Every year over 250,000 students are hit at least once by educators in US public schools.

DetentionSlip.org commends Rockingham County for joining us here in the future.

Roadway Misspelling: "SHCOOL"

"School" does not equal "Shcool." A roadside crew misspelled the word "school" as if they've never been. Time for a course refresher or two... especially since they misspelled the school's name, Guilford on a detour sign two weeks earlier!

Teacher suspended over Facebook comments

Story: Apex teacher suspended after parents question Facebook comments

After a classroom conversation about evolution, a child thought it would be a nice gesture to give his teacher a Bible. Rather than handle the situation like a mature adult, she decided to open up a Facebook rant and referred to the incident as a hate crime. Her friends chimed in with replies about "ignorant Southern rednecks" and swastikas. I guess some teacher aren't familiar with the concept of behind closed doors.

School secretary fired for speaking Spanish

Story: Ex-CMS secretary says she was fired after she kept speaking Spanish to Latino parents

When she took over the school, the new renegade principal couldn't wait to tighten up the borders and ban employees from speaking Spanish at a school that is 42% Hispanic. No word yet if this school tossed out the civil rights lessons from curriculum.

Teacher Accused of Using a Jump Rope to Tie Up Misbehaving Students

Story: Hickory Substitute Teacher Accused of Using a Jump Rope to Tie Up Misbehaving Student

What is troubling about this story, is that while bound, the teacher told the children, "This is what it’s going to be like when you’re in jail." The nerve of this lady to give out such inaccurate information to our youth! Even though jails are over-crowded, I don't think it's ever been common practice to tie up prisoners with a jump rope when they are causing trouble in the yard. Either they get shanked by another inmate or they're put in solitary confinement. No wonder kids haven't been scoring well on tests!

District nixes cash-for-grades fundraiser

Story: District nixes cash-for-grades fundraiser

The principal approved an idea that allowed students to pay for better grades. This is not a made up story. To off-set budget problems (and presumably poor grades), students could buy extra points on their tests. $20 can increase your score by 20 points! It was also learned that the district scratched "Morals and Ethics" from their lesson plans and replaced it with "The Art of Bribery." After hearing this story, I can only hope that our schools have finally reached rock bottom.

School system plans random background checks on employees

Story: School system plans random background checks on employees

Even though a better idea might be to give proper background checks before you hire school employees, it must be cheaper to wait until they actually get caught for committing crimes like sexual misconduct. I guess it's easy to lie on your application and cover up old felony charges. But I suppose "random" checks will help weed out all the bad guys.

Gym teacher accused of assaulting student

Story: Gym teacher accused of assaulting student

Growing up, one of the best ways to prove physical dominance was to pelt smaller, slower kids with dodgeballs in gym class. At the age of 36, you would hope most people out-grow this phase. Unfortunately, one teacher still feels the need to demonstrate his anger through accuracy (over and over again). The target? A 14-year old girl. The result? A job opening in Lincoln County, NC.

School mispells spelling bee champs name

Story: No spellcheck on school sign

It apparantly doesn't take an eighth grade education to land the job as marquee manager. In what we all hoped (but were sadly let down) was meant to be ironic, the boy was congratulated by seeing a mispelling of the most common name in the English language- Michael. Not to discredit the competition, but Michael happened to be the only one who noticed the error.
