Subject: coroporal punishment

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporal_punishment

There is a lot of controversy surrounding the permitance of corporal punishment, spanking, in the school system. I have never seen a need for this type of punishment and I think children can learn to "behave" in a more positive way when they are given punishments that make them actually think about what they have done for more than just the 30 seconds of pain they endure. Punishments such as getting something taken away or writting 50 times about what they did, I believe, will influence them longer, safer, and more effectively then actual physical contact. I think there is a huge difference between nurses and teachers using corporal punishment- the most ovbious, nurses usually will be taking care of sick, older patients where physical contact would be completely inappropriate. Teachers I do not think should be physically punishing students either, it is not their place to decide if that type of punishment is acceptable, it is the parents. If the need arouse to contact parents and make them aware of on ongoing problem then the teacher is informing the parents and then it is up to them to punish as they see fit.
