What the law says you can and can’t do. taahir6 https://padlet.com/taahir6/methodsofdiscipline/wish/328994352 Here are various ways learners ought to be disciplined in schools, and corporal punishment is not one of them, having been banned since 1997. On November 4, The Citizen reported that Daeraad School in the North West stripped an 18-year-old learner naked and held her in solitary confinement for nine days. This was punishment for sporting the wrong haircut and refusing to shave her head. ]]> 2019-02-07 21:26:43 UTC https://padlet.com/taahir6/methodsofdiscipline/wish/328994352 What methods are schools allowed to use to discipline pupils? taahir6 https://padlet.com/taahir6/methodsofdiscipline/wish/328995795 There is a difference between discipline and corporal punishment. Discipline means teaching acceptable behaviors and unlearning manipulative behaviors with support, guidance and direction in managing behavior. Discipline is about setting limits, clarifying roles, responsibilities and mutual expectations and creating a predictable, orderly and stable life. It is not punitive and is in the best interests of the child. On the other hand, corporal punishment intends grievous bodily harm and violates the basic rights of the child.

Solitary confinement is an extreme and unlawful form of discipline and may not be exercised by a school.  the action taken at Daeraad School was drastic and would infringe on the well being and best interests of the learner. It could be more harmful than helpful, inducing trauma in the child.]]> 2019-02-07 21:31:53 UTC https://padlet.com/taahir6/methodsofdiscipline/wish/328995795 taahir6 https://padlet.com/taahir6/methodsofdiscipline/wish/329001671 2019-02-07 21:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/taahir6/methodsofdiscipline/wish/329001671 taahir6 https://padlet.com/taahir6/methodsofdiscipline/wish/329001881 2019-02-07 21:54:30 UTC https://padlet.com/taahir6/methodsofdiscipline/wish/329001881 215104498 zeefagodien https://padlet.com/taahir6/methodsofdiscipline/wish/330262993 As a teacher in training with little to no experience, I hope that corporal punishment comes back especially with all the incidents taking place in schools regarding violence
