HRS specifically tells parents not to spank a child but school systems are allowed to ask our permission to hand down corporal punishment to our children when we cant even do it ourselves by HRS standards.

Because the government owns your child. They just let them go home on weekends with homework for even more torture...

I do not know what HRS is but I am guessing it just like CYS (children and youth services) and CYS feels that spanking a child is perfectly legal, but beating (abuse) a child is another subject. As for schools, none of the schools in Pennsylvania can administer corporal punishment without the written consent of the parent and public schools no longer even offer the punishment. Infact, many private schools have removed corporal punishment from their school codes as well.

Scary, but only 27 states ban corporal punishment.
as a parent and a teacher, I look for alternative methods of teaching/guiding my pre-schooler at home. It works almost without exception. I don't like hitting my child and I would never hit someone else's (at any age) unless it was in the defense of a child.
There would be dire legal and physical consequences if some teacher or administrator (or anyone else who is supposed to protect/teach guide my child) put their hands on my child.

Petition the Department of Children & Families about this. I beat up the principle at the school my brother & I went to because he wouldn't stop spanking my little 4 year old brother. I was 8 years old at the time. I remember jumping up and down to reach him. My parents & others got together and on their own stopped the spanking at that school. It was a private Christian (fire & brimstone) school. I'll never forget how scared I was that day they did that to him. It was horrific.

Not sure where your from, but here in the US parental spanking is legal in all 50 states, each state's law is different, but all very much legal. I know some states still allow spanking in schools but that to is dying out. All depends on your location.

Very few states in the U.S. still allow corporal punishment (assuming you're in the U.S.). Hitting a child teaches them fear and that hitting is ok. Not very logical if your goal as a parent is to raise a compassionate, curious, respectful child. Be who you want them to be, don't just mouth the words.

In my state, corporal punishment is legal at home and in the schools.
Most schools do not use corporal punishment in their behavior management plans. I have been told by daycare workers, that even though it is legal, parents have sued districts and day cares even though they practice corporal punishment at home.
