how to stop corporal punishment in schools and the laws to protect children from it?

Answer 1

In the school setting, China, and Taiwan have made corporal punishment against children illegal in the school system, but it is still known to be practiced in some form in many areas, with punishment ranging from mild chastisement (most common), including shaking by the arm or shoulder, or slapping in the back of the head or ear, to more serious punishments (least common), including striking with a hand or cane. Such incidents are increasingly leading to public outcry, and in recent years have lead to the dismissal of teaching staff. In South Korea, corporal punishments occur for students if they fail tests or quizzes, forget their homework, violate school rules, or give an incorrect answer to the teacher.
============
Most countries have banned the use of corporal punishment in schools, beginning with Poland in 1783. The practice is still used in schools in some parts of the United States (approximately 1/2 the states but varying by school districts within them), though it is banned in others.

Some nations retain judicial applications of corporal punishment to child offenders, for instance Iran.


Corporal punishment remains a common way of disciplining children. It has been outlawed in 16 European countries, and in Israel, and parents are allowed to use mild corporal punishment on their children.

In terms of punishment in judicial and educational settings, approaches vary throughout the world. The practice has, for instance, been almost completely abandoned in Europe and North America, whilst other societies retain widespread use of judicial corporal punishment, including Malaysia and Singapore. In Singapore, male offenders are typically sentenced to caning in addition to a prison term. The Singaporean practice of caning became much discussed in the U.S. in 1994 when American teenager Michael P. Fay was sentenced to such punishment for an offence of car vandalism.

Corporal punishment is also dictated as an acceptable means of behavioral correction in traditional Islamic Sharia law, and applied in primarily Islamic countries such as Saudi Arabia and Iran. Punishment is generally in the form of flogging or caning., though amputation of body parts may be used in case of recidivism.

While the domestic corporal punishment of children is accepted in many countries, it is also illegal in a number of others. The practice has been banned in Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Latvia, Norway, Romania, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Ukraine.

These developments are comparatively recent, with Sweden, in 1979, being the first country to forbid corporal punishment by law..
In a number of other countries there is active debate about its continued usage. In the United Kingdom there is active debate about its total abolition, whilst in New Zealand an 'anti smacking bill' is before Parliament.
The Australian state of Tasmania also is continuing to review the state's laws on the matter, and may seek to ban the use of corporal punishment by parents.

Answer 2

Well they did it when I was a child and I turned out fine as did most of the people I grew up with. I think it can make up for the lack of discipline that some children get at home. But I guess I think its up to each parent to decide that. My parents had to sign a permission slip that said yes or no, if you put no then your parents had to pick you up within one hour of being called or the police would escort you off of school property. I personally think it is beneficial but I am not the one who should decide for everyone.

No laws can completely eliminate corporal punishments.There are so many traffic rules still the accidents are happening.The best method is by training and motivating the teachers on this subject.. Constant behavioural training and monitoring will help to cotain this menace.
