Yes and they should be. There are various types of punishments and what is allowed is usually up to the school district and parents. When a child misbehaves at home, don't the parents punish him/her? (Well, I hope they do otherwise that probably explains the hellions I see running around in stores) Teachers/Administrators have to take over the role while the child is under their supervision. As far as punishments go, I personally think having a talk with the student or time out is appropriate. Some places still allow paddling, but I don't agree with that.

Corporeal punishments in school are not allowed as a rule. Punishment of students may be an academic undertaking where they can learn in the process or suspension, depending on the gravity of the offence. For grievous offences, blacklisting the student maybe implemented. The Carrot method (positive approach however is still the best method of motivating students to improve behavior.

You call it punishments or reformation exercise it should be necessarly given to students so that they will realise their mistakes and correct themselves. At the same time these punishments should not be corporal or hazardous one and the best teacher can punish the students very cleverly in such a way that no violence will be there but only the students attitude will change.

Most schools give detention, suspension, "time-out", ISS, no recess...
One of the school I used to go to which contained Grades K-8 had a paddle named "Mr. Woody". If you get sent to the principal's office six times, you get a spanking with Mr. Woody (by the principal, not the teacher, not in front of anyone else). Most of the people who received this punishment were middle schoolers (5-8), but a kid in my third grade class got sent to the principal's office at least 6 times that year, so he got a paddling, too. The school has split up: (K-4 is the elementary, 5-8 is the middle), and I'm not sure if the paddling is still used in the middle school. Note: I went to the school from 2000-2004... I'm in the eighth grade now.

I am sorry to report that the answers before me are incorrect. As much as you would think it is not allowed these days, corporal punishment IS still alive in the US! The middle school I am counselor for DOES still administer corporal punishment (swats, paddling,etc...). TEACHERS do NOT give the swats. ONLY an administrator can give this punishment and ONLY with parents permission. It IS used only as a last resort before suspension. I do not even swat my own children, so it bothers me, but it is not something I am in control about. We are a large rural school district and the board backs this policy.

you can give students detentions or a essay to complete for a punishment, also check your schools guidelines to what is available for your use of a punishment. Parents might want to speak with you about the punishment

Well here in the USA physical abuse is not tolerated. The most highest punishment I know of is detention. Or time out... You are on a very touchy subject.

If you're referring to America - and by punishments you mean corporal punishment - then the answer is no.
