Lesson 56 - Corporeal punishment Radio host: So are you for or against corporeal punishment in our school system? Caller: Personally, I feel strongly against it. I don’t believe that teachers have the right to take physical disciplinary action against students. Radio host: But many parents feel some sort of discipline is necessary. Caller: A form of discipline is essential but how much is too much when it comes to hitting students? Radio host: So you’re implying that certain teachers can abuse their power? Caller: That’s exactly my point. How can we determine when a teacher has gone overboard in class? Using the rod is just an easy way out. Radio host: Good point. So what do you think is an alternative to corporeal punishment? Caller: We should implement more after-school detention and force students to participate in community work. Radio host: Any final comments to make? Caller: Our utmost priority is to nurture our children and guide them in the proper direction. [해석] “체벌” Radio host: 그러면, 우리 학교 체제의 체벌에 대해 찬성하세요 아니면 반대하세요? Caller: 개인적으로, 강력하게 반대합니다. 전 선생님들이 학생들에 대해 물리적인 징계 처분을 할 권리가 있다고 믿지 않아요. Radio host: 그러나 많은 부모들은 약간의 징계는 필요하다고 느끼는데요. Caller: 일종의 징계가 없어서는 안되겠지만, 학생들을 체벌할 때 얼마만큼이 과한 거죠? Radio host: 그러면, 귀하께서는 어떤 선생님들은 그들의 권력을 남용할 수도 있다는 것을 뜻하나요? Caller: 그것이 바로 제 요점 입니다. 선생님이 교실에서 도를 넘었다는 것을 어떻게 판단할 수 있죠? 매를 사용하는 것은 단지 쉬운 해결책이에요. Radio host: 좋은 지적입니다. 그럼, 체벌에 대한 대안을 뭐라고 생각하세요? Caller: 방과 후에 더 많이 학교에 남아 있게 하고, 학생들이 사회봉사활동에 참여하도록 해야 합니다. Radio host: 마지막으로 덧붙일 말씀은? Caller: 우리가 가장 우선해야 하는 것은 어린이들을 키워서 바른 길로 가도록 이끄는 것입니다. < Key ｅxpressions > ■ So are you for or against corporeal punishment in our school system? ■ How can we determine when a teacher has gone overboard in class? ■ Using the rod is just an easy way out. ■ We should implement more after-school detention and force students to participate in community work. < Main dialogue > ■ So are you for or against corporeal punishment in our school system? * corporeal punishment -> some kind of physical punishment : 체벌 cf. capital punishment : 사형(제도) * for or against = 찬성 혹은 반대 ■ I don’t believe that teachers have the right to take physical disciplinary action against students. * have the right to do something : ~할 권리가 있다 ■ How much is too much when it comes to hitting students? * How much is too much? -> What is the limit? ■ That’s exactly my point. = That’s what I’m trying to tell you. ■ How can we determine when a teacher has gone overboard in class? * to go overboard -> go beyond what they should have gone : 도를 지나치다, (범위, 한계 따위를) 넘다 ■ Using the rod is just an easy way out. * easy way out : 쉬운 해결책 ■ So what do you think is an alternative to corporeal punishment? * alternative : 대안책 ex. alternative medicine : 대체 의학 alternative music / club / comedy ■ We should implement more after-school detention and force students to participate in community work. * implement something = put it into action * after-school detention : (벌로) 방과 후에 학교에 남겨두기 ■ Any final comments to make? =Anything that you want to say to add your final comments? ■ Our utmost priority is to nurture our children and guide them in the proper direction. * utmost priority = the most important thing * nurture – carefully raise them / take care of them : 양육하다
