Subject: Corporal Punishment

My website is http://www.stophitting.com/disatschool/facts.php
As you can tell from the website that I chose, I am totally against corporal punishment, not only in schools, but also at home. I do not believe adults teach kids very much through what they say, as compared to what kids learn from our behavior. If we tell them that violence is bad, yet model violence by hitting them we have taught them nothing. In addition, if violence were an effective means of correction, I am certain prisoners would be beaten daily. And finally, I think spanking is for the lazy disciplinarian. The punishment should match the "crime." If a child leaves their junk in the living room, maybe they should be responsible for keeping the living room clean for a week. That would be something that could help them remember and to have more respect for the person who normally keeps it clean. Finally, I think the most important part of discipline is to help children learn to make better choices in the future, as opposed to remembering your rules. Or even worse, become an adult who scared to make decisions without their parents input. Our job as parents and teachers is to teach, and I don't think spanking teaches anything good.
