What is corporal punishment? Corporal punishment, also known as physical discipline, in schools is the physical punishment of students, and it comes in many forms such as paddling, spanking, and slapping. Corporal punishment is carried out between 1 and 2 million times per year in schools in the U.S, according to “Corporal Punishment in Schools,” which is an article by AAP News. That’s a whole lot of students that have been hurt! Corporal punishment should be banned in the U.S. Negative effects, behavior
Corporal Punishment in Schools I wrote this paper for Contemporary Moral Issues class. This was an assignment of our choice and I chose to do this topic, because the week before in Intro to Education we had discussed discipline methods and I was astonished to learn that corporal punishment still existed in schools. I am hoping that by including this piece of work on my webfolio others will become aware that corporal punishment is alive and used often in our schools. In the following paper

Corporal and children punishment is the form of punishment which can include beating, branding, blinding, flogging and other physical pain to restrict unbearable behavior and reforming wrongdoer. Corporal punishment can be judicial corporal punishment, school corporal punishment and domestic corporal punishment. The effects of corporal punishment against children cannot be ignored. In most of the developed nations corporal punishments do not exists (Soneson, 2005). Despite corporal and children are
In a recent controversy concerning corporal punishment in schools, a physical education instructor in Albany, Georgia was recently suspended, but not fired after physically punishing and abusing her student. Surveillance cameras caught Tracy Drayton in the act of dragging a kindergarten pupil across the gymnasium (“Tracy Drayton, Georgia”). This is a prime example of how corporal punishment can result in extreme consequences. Corporal punishment, an outdated and ineffective consequence, should be
The use of corporal punishment is not effective, and can have negative long term effects on children. Of the many different forms of discipline, corporal punishment is one of them. This act of punishment can be defined as the intentional infliction of pain on the body, usually done on children by spanking or with a paddle. Though there are parents who still do this in their household, it is not necessary or very effective long-term. Being that it is a true public health issue in the United States
Whether corporal punishment should be allowed in schools has been long disputed. Advocates reason corporal punishment is necessary to produce well-behaved children (Hicks-Pass 71.) Although these supporters of corporal punishment in schools argue it is a normal, necessary part of child education and a successful way to enforce appropriate behavior, it should not be permitted due to the great potential of long-lasting, harmful effects on students such as damaging their self-esteem and causing the
Corporal punishment is defined as “an infliction of punishment to the body.” My primary reason for not approving corporal punishment would be that corporal punishment creates a negative reaction from the student’s perspective plus additional problems in the end. To discipline students in a way that will harm them into non-misbehavior is not the way to go. I claim that corporal punishment in public schools should not be permitted because it is barbaric, harmful, and in no way a method to solve personal
States government should ban all forms of corporal punishment used on children to help reduce violence against them. In 1995, the United States signed the United Nations Conventions on the Rights of the Child treaty, but it was never ratified and so corporal punishment remains widely used. Statistics show by the time a child is two years old; nearly two-thirds of parents have used corporal punishment, and by middle school the use of corporal punishment increases to about 80% (Gershoff, 2008).
Corporal punishment is a controversial form of physical punishment used to deter crime or unsavory behavior. It was often used in the past, but is now discouraged or even seen as immoral, at least in Western countries. Corporal punishment is a morally unjust way to get students to act in an acceptable behavior. Corporal punishment has been used in many schools back in the day. However, it had no positive effect on the children themselves or on the education they were receiving. All it taught the
