I do not believe in corporal punishment. I do not feel as though it is effective in changing the bad behavior of the child; therefore, if it is not correcting a behavior than it is not necessary. Most children when spanked repeatedly do not associate this punishment with what it is that they have done wrong, they associate it with fear or pain. Granted, those feelings of fear or pain may influence the child to do those things less, the lesson is not being learned. There are so many other ways to punish a child where a lesson can actually be learned, such as talking to them or making them write about what it is that they have done wrong. If these methods work just as well, what is the point in spanking a child?
Having a child does give a person the right to discipline a child as they feel needed; however, i think a teacher or a nurse using corporal punishment is outside their responsibilites or rights. I think that teachers should apply other forms of punishment, like those I listed above instead of corporal punishmennt in all situations.
I think the website I fould provides alot of interesting statistics, and if you are interested in the debate on corporal punishment you should view.
