This site leans more on the side of non-corporal punishment of children in the home. It seems to be research oriented and focuses of the studies of several researchers. My opinion is that you do what works for each individual child. There is no one thing that works for all in every situation. I was spanked as a child but I don't feel as it had any outcome on my behavior, either negative or positive. There just came a point when I wanted to try and do what was right for because it was right. Now my husband, on the other hand, only needed a few spankings as a child because if he got spanked for something he didn't do it again.
The way that we are discipline our 3 year old is a combination. We see that spankings (mainly pinching) aren't as effective as the removal of what he wants, but we still will use them to emphasis a point usually when he has done something dangerous.
As far as corporal punishment in school I am against it. I am from the North were the kids probably need to be hit, but by their parents. I don't feel as if the schools use punishment with the same emotions behind it as a parent. It hurts me to have to scold my son, I feel guilty. But I know that he has to learn or that he will get in trouble or hurt in the real world.
