Not anymore. It was declared illegal.

Are you kidding me? Go observe a school in Haiti for more than 10 minutes, and you'll likely see the whip.

Yes, you're right.
This law is not enforced in Haiti.
I have heard reports of teachers who continue to use corporal punishment in schools.
If they don't use the whip, they'll use the ruler... the long ruler that construction workers use.
I remember I had a teacher in elementary shool (Mme Pierre), she walked around class with her long ruler. God forbid! a student should sneeze the wrong way, she'll have the student put his hand on the desk and whamo! on your knuckles.
Yet, the teachers with the whips will have the students come in front of the class, pull their pants down and whamo! whip! whip! on their poor buttocks.
What's the deal with pulling your pants down anyway? Don't they know that it would hurt whether you pull your pants down or not?

Not just in school. Most parents have a matinet or rigwaz and it is the same...
ReplyDeleteYeap, you are right.
ReplyDeleteAnd they use for whatever little reason.
One would say that some Haitians parents don't know how to talk to their kids. They just let the rigwaz do the talking.
you never lied...
