Subject: Assignment 2-corporal punishment

I feel that corporal punishment, if used in the right context, has a place in the grand scheme of extreme behavior modification. Although I try not to practice this with my child I do not feel that it is improper if others do with their children. Also, I feel that there is also a definite difference in teacher spanking versus parent spanking. My main job as a parent is to protect my child from all hurt, harm and danger and if I give permission for my child to be harmed he will eventually lose faith in me. I feel that a parent should have every right to try to fix the problem with help and resources. In order to get rid of the need for teacher spanking the problem should be presented to the parents and an action plan should be developed in order to stop the action and prevent escalation and retaliation of the student due to a teacher spanking. Resolving a matter without spanking is much harder than with spanking. In my opinion corporal punishment is just frustration and demonstrates an unwillingness to use proper communication. We always teach our children to use their words and communicate clearly but by spanking we are not practicing what we preach. Furthermore, in most classrooms hitting is permitted, yet it is okay for the teacher to hit a student? How are the children supposed to learn the right thing to do with such a double standard? Similarly, nurses and teachers share a common gift of compassion and this asset should led them to be somewhat of the same in regard to corporal punishment. They both serve the public and in doing so they must be aware of the rights of the public they serve. In both professions bodily harm is forbidden and punishable if asserted. All in all, corporal punishment is a subject that will be debated for many years to come.
