Do you teach?

safarigirl:
What comprehensive study? You have not stated how this study was conducted, which regions they conducted them at, the children that made up the sample pot.

I had my own share of corporal punishments as a child and I turned out fine, many others who did will tell you same, nobody from any paediatric society ever took a sample from my neighborhood, so, which experiment did they do? Did they take a sample from Nigeria? Did they take a sample from Kenya, Jamaica, Granada?

What makes their experiment comprehensive? Because they tested 100-1000 out of over a billion people and came up with purported results?

If you know what comprehensive means, you won't be throwing the term about loosely. I did not say people should break their children's heads here, some of you assume the worst when corporal punishment is mentioned.

I doubt you have sufficient experience with children, else, you would not be telling me about some experiment by whoever.

safarigirl:
Sweden is not Nigeria, different races, different genetic make ups, different diet, different climate, different culture.

Learn that you cannot use one society to explain another, just like you cannot use one form of discipline for all children, you need to consider various factors. You are committing a fallacy of generalization.

alcuin:
Of course, you can't go around flogging adults.

But children in their formative ages need to learn early enough that there are punitive measures for wrong behaviour. And these punitive measures do not exclude getting their asses severely whooped.

That's the point.

profolaolu:
Go to schools especially in Lagos State and see what not flogging have caused.

Where did the kids inherit the [/b]gene of rascality[b] if not from the parents.

The parents should first submit themselves for punishment for passing on the gene of rascality to their children.

Its a serious offense.

Equity15:
bro, I'm also currently a teacher. and I know what I'm saying. I'm not saying the canning should be too much but it should be moderated. it's when it's too much that the kid finally turns wayward. it's good to spank a kid once in a while when he misbehaves. these kids of nowadays even seem to be more wayward than us.

safarigirl:
Assault is rather harsh a term.

I bet there are paediatrics who beat their kids. Many people sell products they don't use, comedians spread joy, but many of them are depressed, do what works for you, [/b]not what someone recommends based on a purported experiment with a tiny scope of people.[b]

I wonder how many children and in which regions they must have done these tests to come to such conclusion.

I don't need any scientist to tells me what I see for myself. I see children, and I see how they react to flogging or scolding. I know which has lasting effects on which kids, I don't need anyone to tell me what I know and have established with my own years of experience

Odunolumide:
I think the use of cane cannot be abolished at a whim. It is a cultural issue embedded in a life long tradition. It should be systemic and parents have a huge part to play.

Equity15:
there's always an exception. but be honest with yourself, how many Nigerian kids will that work on?

Jokerman:
The Bible/Quran is bigger than any constitution

Odunolumide:
There is this girl in my class that I don't beat because once I threaten to beat her she behaves well. In other case ,most of the pupils are very naughty and they dare you by their actions .
I am thinking of making a deal with my pupils next term that I won't beat them in exchange for something else but I hope it works.
I also plan on using a no-cane sign in my class.

safarigirl:
I've learnt that there is really no hard and fast rule with children

I recommend finding the perfect disciplinary method depending on the child. Some kids are receptive to scolding and some others require flogging. Find the disciplinary method perfect for the child, notice what works best for each child, just because they are all kids does not mean the same thing will work across board

So, yeah, depending on the kid, caning could work with some, others just a few words and for a select few, a combination of both. It's like people who prefer injection to pills and vice versa

eduman365:
[/b]This might sound old school, but those countries where they refuse to discipline their children are the same countries with high rate of homosexuality and lack of respect for their parents...[b]

If you like don't beat your children when they are wrong. For me I'm following what the bible teaches about discipline; spare the rod, spoil the child.

Michellekabod2:
It depends on what 30k means to the couple. 30k can be a enough for just airtime in a month and to some it can be enough for a them to live per month. Different strokes to different folks. If he can make do with it why not?

For example,earlier this year spent 27k on a meal for just myself in a Chinese restaurant (desert,appetizer and main meal). Some weeks later I ate 50 naira gala and 7up for a meal because I was broke ( didn't get the money I was expecting).....
At both instances I adjusted according to my pocket. When I had I ate a decent meal,when I didnt have I adjusted to eating gala and 7up. I can cope with any situation around. So the bachelor in question may be able to cope with his 30k.

YoungLionken:
I have had such an ugly experience before, though it happened long time ago.

That's why shortage of information,ignorance and innocence can attimes work together. Inorder words, lack of adequate information which creates room for ignorance can make you get involved in a crime, even though you are innocent.

For you to know how ignorant I was then, I have had such experience before I started hearing the word"gay, homosexual".

The idiot would play all kinds of rough play with me only for him to open my shorts, trying to insert,an action I always turned down immediately. His sexual attempts on me was more than ten times. He would trickily invite me over to his house(I stopped going after two or three attempts) and less than twenty minutes,he's already trying to hump on me. The good news is that,he didn't succeed,and I later relocated to Lagos. He's the reason I dislike vikings till date (he became a member after I left. All my close pals are either Aye, Buccaneer, Eiye ), you cannot be a viking and survive around me. And, he's in Europe now,if not I would have brought back the issue,mess him up totally.

Although,it wasn't a total good news,as I had this girl who always wanted to do it with me by all means. Anyway, story for maybe next time.

The truth is, it's better to be defiled by the opposite sex than same sex. Sex with the opposite is a sin,with thesame,it's an abomination.

Warning: Never you trust your kids, brothers, sisters with anybody. Especially when you know they can hardly differentiate/discern between good and bad...

That's sad man... Nothing spoil, Track him right down to that fuuking place he reside and flush the piece of Garbage.(neutralize him)

Nothing melt my heart like seeing an adult exploiting an innocent child.

Rexraph18:
What did you find out in your Google research?

Rexraph18:
I have had an opportunity to talk with a South Korean returnee,

He said:
1. Factory works are abundantly available and pays well too (btw $1k and above for men and something similar for women)

2. Cost of living for a newbie might be high as you pay from 100k and above monthly for a bedroom apartment.

3. The food is okay.. like he said, he ate basically rice most of the time.

4. The people care less if you exist or not.. just going about doing their normal day to day activities.

5. He said it could cost as much as 2.5m traveling to South Korea.


PS: I need someone to corroborate this pls.

Erediauwa:
South Korea would be a good start.

That's if you can work in the factory.

Kindly ignore any demon that will tell you to invest the money in this prison yard called Nigeria....

They're your Village People.

It has taught me that material things cannot replace the values I possess as a woman. It has taught me never to stoop myself low for someone who doesn't value integrity. [b][/b]Integrity is all that matters to me even at the point of death.[b][/b]Before you change a negative perception or habit in a person to positive, you got to change first. That's the only way you can make a difference in people's lives.

CANDYDADDY:
My Two adorable daughters at age of 5 and 10 years have being cramming up what I thought to be immoral songs lately.

One of them sang Naira Marley's 'Opotoyi' when she was doing house-chore this morning.

I have almost put all my electronic gadgets on parental lock just for them not to be carried away by immorality.

[/b]One of them is even singing 'Omo oni di rabata', I almost beat the hell out of her. [b]

Have bought them various educational song CDs and all sort of things

Help!
