Because, how can you set the students straight, if you don’t correct them when they’re misbehaving in class, but then again, that’ll take away from the class learning sessions, so, it’s, a dilemma that they’re faced with here, written by an elementary school principal, from the Front Page Sections, translated…
In the newest survey on corporal punishment, it’d shown, that in the middle and elementary schools, there are serious instances where students were still, being physically punished; and the numbers are, a lot higher than from the Department of Education’s estimates. The researchers stated, that this year, they’d specially considered the situations of “can’t get out of class”, verbal insults, and other sorts of special kinds of corporal punishments. As a worker in the first line of education, I’m doubtful toward the results.
The disciplinary measures in schools focus on positive punishments, the teachers used a lot of thought in managing the classes, and needed to consider, the individual differences of the students as well, to set a unique style for the class of students. And all of the teachers’ hard work, and the interactions they’d shared with the students, simply, can’t be shown through the research results of “staying in class at break time”.

Following, every time a student acts up, it’s all the teacher’s fault, then, how will we, have the students take responsibilities, for their own acting up, and what about the families’ roles in all of this?
Besides, opening up the rule books on “Counseling and teaching methods of students”, “staying after class” must come hand-in-hand with some sort of purpose in education. This, is fitting to the orders of the purpose of education.
Sometimes, “can’t get out of class” may mean “not being able to get out of class” or, “not wanting to get out of class”. For instance, a student did something wrong, are the teachers supposed to take time from the class periods to deal with it, taking away the time from teaching the lessons? Then, wouldn’t the teachers be complained about “taking away the learning time from the students” too? Besides, some kids, they needed one-on-one sessions with the instructors; and sometimes, the student just want to, sit and think awhile in her/his own seats after class.
So, are these children really, understood? Or, is it, a newly, imagined corporal punishment method? Any sort of an over-analyzing the issues doesn’t work towards solving the problems, instead, it’d helped instill the beliefs of “I think”, “I believe I’m right”, this one-sided way of thought and behaviors.

So, this is like that debate of whether we should label students in school, if labeling helps a student get the help s/he needs to perform well in school, then, is it still bad? Or, if by not labeling a student, s/he falls far behind, because s/he is not getting the help s/he needs in learning in school, then, is labeling bad still? And, the writer is right, that by making the students stay after class to catch up is sometimes, needed, as you can’t teach that single student in the whole class, you are in charge, of a class of twenty, if only one or two of these twenty students are behind in learning, by taking the time, focusing on those few handful of children who are falling behind, you’d be, delaying the learning of the rest of the class.
