Over the years, schools have been debating whether or not to ban or allow corporal punishment in school. Schools do not know what to do, considering the 8th Amendment and students and their own children. Corporal Punishment is necessary in schools because it teaches kids not to get in trouble, teachers would feel empowered and will be listened to more often, and the final reason is that kids’ behavior will become better. One reason why corporal punishment is necessary is because it teaches kids to not get in trouble. Kids are always getting into trouble, and that is because of either peer pressure, or their parents are not helping them enough at home. Some schools have no corporal punishment, so they just give them detentions and barely do anything, which is why kids keep getting into trouble. This is what schools are supposed to do. Schools, enforce stronger discipline on the students but to an extent! Some children in Florida, said that they should get a word of say before they get hit. Basically, what this means is that two students got into trouble and were supposed to get hit. They wanted to have a say of what happened and tried to console with them, but the teachers denied. This case went to the Supreme Court, and the statement was that “Students cannot have a word of say before they get hit.” (Ingraham VS Wright). This is understandable because students have a chance to get away before they get hit, which leads them to become criminals or something that is dangerous to the open world. Not only would it teach kids to not get into trouble, teachers would feel more powerful and will be listened to more often than usual. Another reason why corporal punishment should be allowed is because teachers would feel more powerful and have less of a chance of getting stress over yelling at the kids to listen. Kids all over the world don’t fully listen to the teachers who help them(Sifferlin). This causes teachers to get angry and yell at the pupils. Instead of yelling and sending them out of the room, the teachers should whack their hand to let them know they mean business. This would help teachers because they would have less stress. This helps the world and the students because the world would be smarter if
Corporal punishment, as a measure of correction or of maintaining discipline and order in schools, is permitted. However, it shall be used only when all other alternative means of discipline have failed, and then only in reasonable form and upon the recommendation of the principal. If found necessary, it shall be administered by a certificated administrator in the presence of a witness who is an employee of the school district. It should never be inflicted in the presence of other pupils, nor without a witness. Corporal punishment shall be administered only by swatting the buttocks with a paddle. When it becomes necessary to use corporal punishment, it shall be administered so that there can be no chance of bodily injury or harm. Striking a student on the head or face is not permitted. The teacher or principal shall submit a report to the superintendent, explaining the reason for the use of corporal punishment as well as the details of the administration of the same.
The most misbehaved students.In John C. Calhoun Elementary is was proven that corporal punishment helped behave the most misbehaves students. This leads me to believe that it { Corporal Punishment }should be allowed.

Did you know that Corporal Punishment is legal in 21 states in the united states, but not in the other 29 states, and it’s only used in 13 of those 21 states. I believe that Corporal Punishment should be allowed in every state in the united states because, it helps kids learn better, it takes stress of teachers, and it teaches kids discipline.
Again,theses are only half of the reason why corporal punishment should not be allowed in any of the countries, and according to the latest reports nation's largest school districts among them Houston and Dallas,Texas; Memphis,Tennessee; Atlanta,Georgia; and Mobile County,Alabama have banned the practice of corporal punishment. Would you want your children to be an excuse for teachers to show their anger? Would you want them to be spending their childhood in fear?

Corporal Punishment Corporal Punishment of children breaches their fundamental human rights it’s legality in the majority states worldwide. Corporal punishment has been a big problem for a very long time. Many people disagree with corporal punishment and so do I.Physical punishment should not be allowed in schools,it can create violence in kids,it is another abusive act,and kids get robbed from their full learning potential. Physical punishment can provoke violence in kids, and bullying can start just from physical punishment.
Is corporal punishment wrong or is it a vital tool for disciplining our children which without our society will ultimately continue to degrade its self and cause our fore fathers to roll over in their graves? Corporal punishment with in reason is not abuse and should be considered a vital tool that is not out dated and should be used widely and constantly through out the previous and upcoming generations of man kind. Today with the mostly discontinued use of corporal punishment and generic discipline our children are becoming less disciplined, more disrespectful, and growing in their “boldness.”
During the 1900’s, corporal punishment was well known and often used to punish and teach children effectively. Philosophers like John Locke express insightful views about forcing a child to learn, rather than allowing the child to freely do so at his or her own pace. Imagine two children learning the same topic of mathematics. One child is introduced to mathematics through counting apples and pears and is allowed to eat the fruits afterwards, whereas the other child is forced to learn mathematics through textbooks with minimum visualization and finds no fun in doing so. The child who is counting through fruits is getting positive feedback because of his ability to quickly catch on and the child who is learning through a textbook is gaining negative feedback because of the complicated material that does not allow for him to grasp the concept or freely make mistakes. Forcing children to learn what they need to in order to keep up a standard level of education for each age group (like the textbook example) can negatively affect the child, their wellbeing, and their self-esteem. When a child is forced to learn unwillingly, he may grow resentful towards members of authority and fear failure, hindering his social skills. A balance between leading the child through encouragement towards the right direction and allowing him to explore his options will help the child to grow up happy and to create a positive impact on the current society.

He claims a ban
As the saying goes, “if people are good only because they fear punishment [then] we are a sorry lot indeed” (Albert Einstein). The question is whether corporal punishment is necessary with so many other methods of discipline available. Is it effective? This is a much-debated issue between childcare specialists and parents alike. Corporal punishment, like spanking, should not be the preferred method of discipline as it does more harm than good.
Despite there being support for some of the short and long-term benefits of corporal punishment, there is plenty of opposition to corporal punishment for a variety of reasons. Starting as early as the 1960s, corporal punishment has been said to be “unacceptably degrading punishment” (Lenta 2012: 692), “harsh discipline” (Mayer and Blome, 2013: 145) and psychologically distressing (McLloyd et. al 2007:166).
However, using corporal punishment flexibly and appropriately is also necessary: it is important to disciplinary system; it is an effective tactic to discipline children, so it can reduce the incidence of child abuse; and it will not harm children who are under six but benefit them. Corporal punishment should not be prohibited because it is a safe and effective tactic to discipline children as long as parents use it rationally. If parents use it as the trump of their disciplinary system, use it in control, and only use it to teach children under six, spanking is a reasonable and viable option to teach children. Corporal punishment can be detrimental, but it also can beneficial to both parents and children. It only depends on how parents use
Corporal punishment in these days has been becoming a topic in many old timers talks. Many believe that it helps and is definitely the way to go. The older generations still seem to believe that society would be better off if kids still got punished the way they did. They refuse to ignore data that has not supported the clams they bring up about making children better behaved or as they call it “Straightening them up”. Many believe that our liberal democracy population has views that are not valid and that the old ways need to come back to help us grow.
The world has changed in many different ways, but there are still things that need to be changed for the better. Corporal punishment is one of those things. All around the world, corporal punishment is affecting children in many ways. It is described as a form of discipline that hurts a child in a way and is used both in homes and schools. It has been going on for years upon years and very few people try to stop it. People believe corporal punishment is good for children, but there have been so many negative outcomes that other people argue against it. Although some people believe that corporal punishment helps improve a child’s behavior, corporal punishment should not be used because it could be used excessively and it is ineffective.
Punishment, the word has brought fear to men and children alike, leaning towards adult offenders it tends to take on deeper connotations. As a child you would be punished by your parents, school leaders and other parental figures, and mostly under not so serious circumstances, usually requiring very little corporal punishment and/or separation from entertainment devices. As we get older the offenses tend to be greater and therefore demand greater punishment, despite having histories involving death sentences and hard labor, some methods have done little to deter some offenders. The question this raises of course, should we focus more on punishment or on rehabilitation, concentrating on punishment some would say stricter… while many will
Corporal punishment is wrong because it causes long-term negative effects on students. If a student receives a paddling as a punishment it could cause serious problems for that student mentally and physically. One example of this is in an article called Should Corporal Punishment Be Used in K-12 Schools?. It says “frequent use of corporal punishment leads to a higher risk for anxiety, depression, substance abuse, stress, and other mental health”. These would be dangerous for a child’s health. In serious cases this could even lead to suicidal thoughts. Not only can corporal punishment affect a child's mental health, it can also have an affect on their performance in school. Another example from an article says, “Students who experience corporal punishment in
