Check out the links in the upper right hand corner of this page for links that support the idea of my petition. Why should we monitor how much violence our children are exposed to on t.v., when the teachers in some of our South Carolina schools our teaching our children different. Our family relocated last year from Kershaw county to Lexington county, only to find out after the fact that Mack primary still enforces Corporal Punishment. So I decided to home school my children as long as we live in this district. Well I think its long pass time to put a stop to it, and I decided to start this petition agianst it and send it to the school board. I do not think someone should diciplin my children without loving them first..

I honestly did not think this would gain any traction at all and seeing the names pile up is totally surreal because it means other people feel this same pit in their stomach about our schools. I was pacing around my kitchen just thinking about how hard it is to actually change these archaic rules but now I see there is a real path forward and I am so grateful to everyone who took a second to look at this.

Teachers need to learn how to manage a classroom without violence. Totally backwards way of teaching.
