Proverbs 13:24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him disciplineth him promptly.
23:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for [if] thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
Sheriff**: School Misbehavior Because Kids No Longer Fear Having Butts “Torn Off”; We’re Changing That**
December 3, 2022
“It is a brand new day,” said Sheriff Wayne Ivey, “where school discipline is gonna’ be put back in place in Brevard public schools.”
On Thursday, The New American published a piece on how even young children are sometimes now attacking teachers in school, emboldened by the handcuffing of teachers who, afraid to enforce rules, then “outsource” discipline to the police. But that’s about to change in his jurisdiction, said Sheriff Ivey, of Brevard County, Florida. It’s not clear precisely what the new discipline standards will entail and how much of the new “stick” will be wielded by teachers and how much by cops, but Ivey seemed to be implying it would be a collaborative effort.
Florida Today reports on the story:
Standing outside the Brevard County Jail Complex, Sheriff Wayne Ivey announced what he called a “brand new day” for discipline at schools across the county.
Accompanied by school board chair Matt Susin, State Attorney Phil Archer and school service workers union representative Dolores Varney, Ivey on Monday decried what he called “the failure of the school discipline program here at Brevard Public Schools.”
That, he promised, would change “starting right now.” Ivey spoke in a live video posted on the sheriff’s office Facebook page.
“If you’re a little snot that’s coming to our classes to be disruptive, you might want to find some place else to go to school because we’re going to be your worst nightmare starting right now,” Ivey said.
Ivey’s video pronouncement about school discipline comes after the swearing in last week of two new school board members, both endorsed by the sheriff and Gov. Ron DeSantis, and Susin being chosen as the board chair.
… Susin said the board will sit down with the unions and state attorney at an emergency meeting next week to create the “most prolific policy the school district’s ever had.” Any new policy would need to be approved by the school board.
