What is your view on corporal punishment in schools?

Answer 1

You hit my kid, i'll kill you.

that pretty much sums it up..

Answer 2

I went to school in the 50s, if you behaved yourself corporal punishment never bothered you.
But the line was drawn and you knew if you went over the mark what would happen.
For those who did get the cane it never damaged them for life.
As for our Parents stopping the school punishment it was the other way around.
If you told them you played up ,you got another smack for disgracing the Family.
All Teachers were addressed by Mr/Miss, also if you brought any shame to the school you faced the Headmaster next day.
The Punch line was RESPECT.
But the rot set in when the Parents stopped the Teachers.
Plus the kids know that Adults dont have the upper hand anymore.The Government and all the other Do-Goodies
have destroyed the Respect that was once common place in England.
Even the Police are restricted from doing their duty.
Bring back the CANE.

Answer 3

Corporal punishment is unlawful in Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts. i don't evaluate corporal punishment suitable. this is how i seem at it; adults comprehend the implications in the event that they speed whilst driving, and yet many nonetheless do. So the lesson is; damaging effects do not end habit. And actual effects at the instant are not any assure that a pupil will end a bad habit the two. in the back of each and every habit there is yet another subject - that subject needs to be dealt with....

Answer 4

Corporal punishment is ineffective and causes problems rather that solving them.

I was problem child that was spanked often in school. I wore it as a badge of honor. No teacher could ever hit me hard enough to hurt me and it only served as the catalyst for me to plan the next amusing score.

On the other hand, I had a girlfriend some years ago -- who was 32 years old at the time -- that broke down in tears when she told me of how she had been spanked in school when she was 12. She had been a rather shy student and her teacher mistakenly thought she had been the catalyst for a prank played by a few of her classmates. While spanking me -- clearly an incorrigible student -- had virtually no positive effect, it had a lifelong damaging effect upon a girl who had done absolutely nothing wrong.

Answer 5

I'm all for it.
I grew up in a time where any mother in the neighborhood would discipline you. If you screwed up down the block, your mother knew what you were up to before you got home.
The classrooms are becoming chaotic. Kids are swearing at teachers. They weren't taught at home to respect others, and the teachers suffer the consequences. A swat in front of your classmates isn't such a bad idea. Sometimes a new approach isn't better than the old ones, and in my opinion, the lack of dicipline at home and at school hasn't been a good thing.
