BOISE SCHOOL
In 1927 Boise School began.
In 1943 it began to expand, but
Every ten years some more whites would leave.
Now it's a Black school, everyone believes.
I think they are mistaken, but
They think we're faking,
So they send people out to observe.
We act our best and roll out the red carpet and H o u r douvres.
To conclude my poem I say
To all kids who go to Boise,
“When you're inside don't talk with an outside voice.
Act your best always, and maybe
W ell be here for ninety billion more days.”
by Robert Harris

Principal explains spanking
(Continued from Page 1 Column 6)
witness must be present and the Superin
tendent must be notified within 24 hours.
McCrea spanks students only after
repeated consultation with parents and
only with parents' permission. “Usually it
is the parent who suggests spanking, and
more often than not we reject the
parents' advice that the child be spanked.
We try to help parents see that spanking
should be used as a last resort."
McCrea denied that spanking is
abused. "A practice that is more likely to
1 m - abused is pushing or jerking children
around.” Staff members at Boise are not
allowed to put their hands on children -
push them, pull them, or physically move
them. Students can only be forceably
moved to keep them from injuring them­
selves or others or destroying property.
"Once you start physically forcing a child
you have created an unnecessary confron­
tation," McCrea explained. ‘This type of
pushing and jerking students around is
much more abusive than a spanking.
McCrea also denies that spanking
destroys the relationship between the
teacher and the child. The decision to
spank a child is not made lightly and
comes after the child is very well known
to the teacher. No child who is emotional­
ly disturbed or who would be considered
likely to suffer psychological damage
from physical punishment is spanked.
The child's relationship to the teacher, his
relationship to his parents, his parents
methods of discipline, are all part of the
consideration that goes into reaching the
decision to spank.
“Children want limits. We set limits
with our rules and that is enough for most
children. Occasionally a child only sees
the limits set by a spanking.
These
children respect those who set the limits.
I can go through the halls and watch
children respond with a great deal of love
and respect to the teacher that spanked
them.
Following the spanking, good
behavior is complimented and this also
means a lot."
Princi;»als Su;>;wrt S;ianking
The Elementary Principals Associa
tion, which McCrea is president, voted to
recommend retention of spanking. A l­
though approximately 25 used spanking
last year, the majority believe it is an
option that should be available. McCrea
explained that some principals do not
spank because either they or their com­
munity do not approve of spanking.
Others do not spank at a particular school
in a particular year because the need does
not arise. They would if necessary.
Parents Agree
The Observer contacted twenty Black
parents - with elementary children in
Boise and in other public and parochial
schools -- and all responded without
hesitation that they favored the use of
spanking in the schools.
