We do not need paddling nor any other form of corporal punishment. We are trying to teach children nonviolent ways of conflict resolution. Paddling is not an answer.
I am a teacher and I swatted one child about 30 years ago for calling another child a n***er. In my present school, the child would have been suspended. I think that's a better solution.

The school I teach in has corporeal punishment. For most of the kids who misbehave, it is no big deal. Because they get swats, parents aren't contacted and there is no lasting consequence. A familiar response to a teacher's request is "what are you gonna do--give me swats?"
I don't think they bring about any lasting behaviour change and are therefor ineffective and useless.

No you are not the only one. I agree. the only problem I see is we are getting too many teachers that we can't trust. Maybe a little more investigation of the people that are shaping our children's lives would help.If I know the teacher is a stand up person and my child needs a butt whipping, I am all for it.

Corporal punishment is legal in 22 states (including mine - Florida). Some schools ask you to write a note if you don't want your child paddled, otherwise they are subject to it

Hitting is wrong. Period. Children learn more by what we do, than what we say.
I would never want a child to take that kind of lesson home from me!
