    Piece of Mind:
    Respecting one’s space

    In the mornings we see her when she passes by our building on foot, one hand clutching the handle of the wheeled, soft-sided suitcase that rolls along behind her. Sometimes she pauses to gather herself in a quiet corner of our strip mall, near a lamppost. She shifts her belongings from one arm to the other, then walks east, past Bikram Yoga, Fairy Tale Fantasy, Ichiban, Mike Kobeissi’s new office, Jersey Mike’s and Penguins.

    In Theory:
    Corporal punishment: Is it productive or dehumanizing?

    Q. It’s the 21st century. Gone are the days of teachers wielding rulers and wooden paddles in order to discipline misbehaving students. Or are they? A man in Dallas is pushing the local school district to bring back corporal punishment. A former tutor in the Dallas Independent School District, Gilbert Leal argues that the threat of corporal punishment — along with better classroom management and training teachers how to defuse situations — have “helped decrease disciplinary problems,” according to a story published by Dallas’ WFAA-TV. What do you think? Is corporal punishment on its way in again? And does it really work? Or are we taking a step backward in the discipline of our children? In what situations is corporal punishment appropriate, if at all?
