My Corporal Punishment Argument :)
The Dictionary Definition of ‘ Corporal Punishment ‘ is “ Punishment by being whipped or beaten “ My view on Corporal Punishment is that it is unnecessary, there are better ways to shape a child’s behaviour, than beating them! There are other ways such as benching, strikes,the principal, writing lines and giving out time. Punishment is okay, but not a physical beating!
Here is a real life Corporal Punishment situation...
At Sunny Side School, One dyslexic girl was asked to read out loud what was on the black board. She couldn’t, she read it completely backwards! Mr. MackaBee was furious, what he did not understand was that this girl was dyslexic and she couldn’t read much. Mr. MackaBee shouted “OUT TO THE CORRIDOR“ She ran out, Mr. MackaBee whacked her hand harder than ever before! She was terrified, but knew that the situation could not be helped.
I believe that this behavior from classroom teachers is UN-EXPECTABLE , it is okay for children to be punished, but physically abused. In this case Corporal Punishment did not work because this girl’s behavior became worse and what’s worse is that it became funny to everyone in the class room and to all her friends.
Corporal Punishment is not expectable. Imagine yourself being 5 again, life is good all the writing planning is all set out for you or your maths test that the teacher calls out every maths session are already out for you. But today your teacher is angry, but your friend doesn’t know this and he/she is so sure of the answer and the teacher picks them, they try and answer the question, but it is incorrect. “ COME HERE! “ You hear your teacher say...
Then the SMACK SMACK SMACK... You think to yourself this must be okay? My teacher is doing it? Why can’t I? This is sad to think that little children are exposed to this at such a young age. This needs to stop!
Corporal Punishment should not be allowed in New Zealand, because it is cruel and against human rights! Hopefully, this argument persuaded you that Corporal Punishment is wrong and should never come back to New Zealand.

D.A.R.E :)
The impact that D.A.R.E has on me is EMENCE, because it really opened up my eyes and showed me that Illegal Drugs are out there and they will get offered to me. But the best thing about D.A.R.E is that you are allowed to say/ask whatever you want to! And i think that is what made everyone like it so much as well, and Constable Julie is AMZAYN and i would love to do the experience all over again!

This basically means that we should always look ahead a look forward to was in the futre.

D.A.R.E Evaluation
This term we are all taking part in D.A.R.E, which is a programme that is going to teach us about how to use Drugs safely and to make the right decisions in life. This afternoon, Constable Julie came into our class to start D.A.R.E. One of our sheets had some question's on what need to know and what we already know, and also can we name all the drugs we know. We all said what we had down our sheet but there was one that know one had down... Chocolate? We were all really shocked! I personally would not take Chocolate as a drug. But chocolate is a drug because it is Addictive. I am really loving D.A.R.E Because it's really fun!

Te Whiti Biography
Te Whiti Biography
Te Whiti- o- Rongomai was born at Ngamotu, Taranaki during the Musket Wars. Te Whiti was a son of a Minor Cheif of the Patukai Hapu of the Ngati Tawhirikura Branch. As a child Te Whiti attended Reimenschneder School.This school was a Missionary school.Te Whiti was belived to be a spirtual teacher and was amazing at bible studies from an early age. When Te Whiti left school he set up his own flour mill at Warea.
By 1870 Parihaka had become the biggest village in the country. Te Whiti and Tohu ( Te Whiti’s protesting partner ) were leaders of the Parihaka Government. They protested in peace because the beileved in non-vilolence. They were protesting so that they could keep what was rightfully theirs. In 1881 the Europeans invaded Parihaka they took away land and punished the Moari people for nothing and treated the men in a digusting way and raped the women. The people of Parihaka defended their land peacefully, but the men of Parihaka were imprisoned in the South Island, this included Te Whiti. Te Whiti learnt the ways of new European technology also Te Whtiti was thought to be the first person to use a telephone in the South Island Railway station.
When Te Whiti was released from prison in 1883, he was not allowed to return to his land or be there to say his last goodbye to his wife who died while he was in prison. He still continued to protest in peace, but got imprisoned for this again in 1886. While Te Whiti was in prison the people of Parihaka continued to take out the Euorpean’s survey pegs and plough on the land.
Te Whiti died 11 years after this on the 18th November 1907. Also the people of Parihaka got given a white Albatross symbol to keep Parihaka safe and sound.
I think that Te Whiti was a inspirational leader because he beileved in non-vilolence and stood up for the people of Parihaka.
