McKINNEY, Texas - Some parents believe in spanking their children. Others don’t. But what happens when teachers are accused of spanking students?
Bill and Stephanie Pappas said their 6-year-old son is afraid to go back to Reuban Johnson Elementary School because he told them his teacher spanks children regularly.
The Pappas are the first to admit that if any of their four children are unruly, Mom or Dad will discipline them.
“If a teacher were to come to me and tell me he’s doing this in class I can’t control him, he’d be put in time out or he would get a spanking if it warranted it,” Stephanie Pappas said.
But the couple is irate over the teacher spanking their son and other children, allegedly in front of the class. And their son told them the spankings will only get worse after Thanksgiving.
The Pappas spoke to the school’s principal.
A McKinney Independent School District spokesman said “the teacher in question is on administrative leave and is not allowed back on campus until the investigation into this incident is complete. We don’t tolerate spanking or any kind of corporal punishment.”
