I agree pretty much what Dibble said. I could possibly only justify for response to violent behavior, but discipline is the responsibility of a parent and not the school. If a teach corporally punishes my child for a reason other than violent behavior, then there is a good chance I will corporally punish the teacher. (Ok, maybe not, but I will have words with the teacher.)
Corporal Punishment needs to be banned everywhere. It doesn't even work.
Yeah, it just teaches kids if the other person is smaller than you, you can use force to get your way.
exactly. It's a soundly negative influence in place of a correctional one.
