State Sen. Lucas De Koster notes Iowa has shifted from property taxes toward other taxes to fund schools and government. A Senate bill would provide property tax relief for people 65 and older, basing relief on income and ability to pay with a net worth consideration up to 35,000 and a maximum benefit of 600 dollars.
The piece discusses historic and modern views on corporal punishment in American schools. It contrasts the McGuffey Reader era's strict discipline with later ideas from John Dewey and others. It cites studies by H. Marshall, Clarizio, and Yelon on the effects and controversy of aversive conditioning in classrooms.
The text argues punishment slows troublesome behaviors without defining appropriate ones and may model aggression. It notes punishment creates frustration and maladaptive responses, while reward is seen as more effective, reinforcing the preceding behavior sequence.
The Robinsons argue reward yields longer lasting results than punishment and criticize the decline of rigid discipline in classrooms. They note teachers are educated, law-abiding, and community assets, yet have moved away from firm methods, leading to permissive behavior and academic problems.
