PSA for Free

Public Service Announcements should be for the benefit of the common good.


DetentionSlip.org: Progress Report: WTF is up with hitting students?!

"The mission of DetentionSlip has always been to increase awareness of the issues facing our students, and we can't think of a better one to expose than corporal punishment. As such, we are going to be rolling out the "Heavy Hitter of the Weak" award, for administrators who go above and beyond the call of duty to hit their students. Send anonymous nominations to tips@detentionslip.org"


I would assume that our public education systems are short on money. Difficult budget cutting decisions are made with the idea that only the most necessary expenditures that are aimed at classroom success are supported.

Does anyone know how much money we are saving by cutting behavioral supports?

And of course the next question would be how much of these savings support the common good.
