We try to teach children that violence is unacceptable, that there are alternative ways to dealing with issues, but then we 'hit' them as a means of discipline??????
That makes sense.....!! Do as I say, not as I do???
The risk is clear: stressed teachers going overboard, 'snapping' and seriously hurting a child. Not to mention being too quick of the mark, not finding out the whole story and punishing an innocent child....
There simply is no argument for corporal punishment. All it achieves is FEAR and HATRED, not learning. It establishes the groundwork for violence, it makes it an acceptable form of punishment. These children will go on to become parents that use corporal punishment at home... It makes me shudder. A good teacher should never have any need for corporal punishment. Any teachers that want it back should retire.

No, no, no!!!!!!! No, no, no, no!!!! What for? Because you can't understand the situation&the pupils? Because you can't solve the problem? Because you are allow to do this? Because you are not able to handle your feelings&emotions? Because you have got the power?
Corporal punishment is humiliating in every cases. If you would like to punish someone, even she/he is a child, the punishment has to be in causal connection with the action, with the wrong behavour. In this case the child will learn how to do the things on the socially accepted way. But there is no way as the corporal punishment can be in connetion with the child's behaviour. If you (I mean a person, who has got power, who is empowerd to do this) use corporal punishmnet, the child will learn, that the stronger is allow to hit the weaker, and can oblige him/her doing sg, instead of explaing it.

No it does NOT belong in a civilized society. Think about it: We have laws that protect our adults from any physical harm at the hands of another but NOT our most precious, our children. At least some nations have taken steps to protect theirs.
You'll find the highest incidents of corporal punishment in the bible belt. That tells you what is the driving force behind the outrage when someone tries to get a law passed protecting our kids.

I don't understand what is good about a "good lashing". Sheesh.
Schools are meant to be a place of learning, not torture, pain and embarrasement,. Uncontrolled anger and inflicting pain is the solution of an impotent and ignorant person in authority.
Mistakes or bad behaviour (of students) are good examples where discussion of those behavours could provide a positive learning experience for students and educators alike.
Smacking children about does not promote respect of educators or institutions of learning, quite the opposite. It instills fear and loathing towards the very place where children are supposed to be educated in a comfortable and safe environment.
Hope this helps.

No. Hitting does not show something in any respect. as quickly as you have resorted to hitting, you have in certainty suggested "I lack the skill to show this newborn what s/he desires to understand and absence the staying power to maintain the youngster risk-free/well mannered in different methods till s/he's in a position to earnings and till I decide a thank you to show this lesson" i could wish that our educators are extra clever and correctly knowledgeable than that - that at the same time they have the supplies and abilities to truly show each newborn. And, I even have spent lots of time in faculties at present. i'm in there in lots of cases - very in contact. many of the 'undesirable teenagers' are people who's mothers and dads I never see in there volunteering. maximum human beings volunteers make valuable that we spend overtime with those teenagers, giving them some high quality grownup time that they are, likely, lacking of their lives.

No, because there's a high risk that those inflicting it upon the pupils are enjoying it.
