A proposed change in the Crimi
nal Code concerning punishment in
the schools was opposed by the
Huron County Board of Education
at their September 5 meeting. The
present criminal code states that in
the correction of a child by force
every schoolteacher, parent or
person standing the place of a
parent is justified in using force by
way of correction toward a pupil or
child, as the case may be, who is
under his care, if the force does not
exceed what is reasonable under
the circumstances.
The proposed change to the
present code reads that no one is
liable who, being a parent, foster
parent, or guardian or having the
express permission of such a
person, touches, hurts, threatens
to hurt or confines a person under
18 years of age in his custody in the
reasonable exercise of his authority
over such person.
The Law Reform Commission
clarified that teachers would be
permitted to touch a student in
emergency situations.
HCBE Trustees felt that this new
proposal put undue restrictions on
teachers, stating that it would be
impossible for them to deal with
students under specific situations.
Trustee Norm Pickell who made
the motion to oppose the change
queried as to how teachers would
be able to handle a fight in the
schoolyard or remove a child from
the classroom if they refuse to go.
“Teachers have been losing their
authority for some time and this is
the final blow,’’ said Mr. Pickell.
Opposition to the change has
also come from the Ontario Public
School Boards’ Association who
claim it would render teachers
vulnerable and they feel it reveals a
total lack of appreciation for the
teachers’ day to day responsibili
ties. Also the suggestion exempt
ing teachers in emergency situat
ions they believe would lead to
endless litigations over what con
stitutes an emergency.
Trustee Graeme Craig seconded
Mr. Pickell’s motion that the
present code should be left as is.
The HCBE concurred.
