For children, actions speak louder than words.

Children usually learn by observing role models and imitating them. Especially younger ones who do not fully understand the abstract moral concepts (empty words) behind the punishments, making them reliant to whoever the nearest role model is. Thus when you hit children very often they're at risk of thinking that morality only exists if you get caught/punished and if you're all grown up it's fine to hit smaller and powerless people. And corporal punishment does not work especially to those children who are too predisposed to violence and alienation, such as sociopaths. If anything you're just encouraging them on how to take their own personal grudges onto other people and justify them with empty words. I personally do not see a beneficial relation corporal punishment has with constructive parental modeling.
It has negative psychological effects.

A low self-esteem is one of the principle problems brought on by corporal punishment and can result in anxiety difficulties, alcohol dependency, delinquency and insecurity. Victims of this physical violence also tend to be more shy and resentful than those who are not subject to physical harm. Furthermore, corporal punishment sees the deterioration of the relationship between the victim and the person exercising the violence, whether that be a parent or guardian or a teacher. Nevertheless, this means that corporal punishment can ruin the lives of children through its negative psychological effects. Additionally, undoubtedly it destroys the rapport of the child with whoever conducts the corporal punishment due to a lack of trust.
it works!

Not to call you old, but the 1950s/1960s was a long time ago. As time changes, so do problems and the way you deal with them. A recent Dr. Phil show explained the effects of corporal punishment perfectly. Some children respond to it but others respond negatively to it. If a child really responds negatively to it, then you have a worse problem than you started with. Mental illness is much more prevalent today than it was in the 1950s/1960s. If a student is acting out due to mental illness and they are punished for it, that will make the mental illness worse. If we have a student that is about to become a school shooter, a few smacks is not going to stop them. It would just make them more angry and aggressive, if anything. Also, culture had become more "me centered". People are much more self-centered and selfish now than in the 1950s/1960s. It's a lot more likely now that a teacher will abuse their power than in the 1950s/1960s. If a teacher abuses their power, students will be abused. This will cause even more trouble than the corporal punishment was suppose to fix. Also, a student can falsely claim that they were abused by a teacher. This could ruin the teacher's career and lower the chances of them getting another job. I could continue with the problems of corporal punishment but I won't for time's sake. There are too many problems for corporal punishments to be brought back in all schools in today's society. Actually yes, if you're looking for years that far from now, you are probably reallllllly old.
it makes a direct link between a behavior and its bad consequences

Corporal punishment does not actually administer a direct cause-and-effect link between a behaviour and its bad consequences. It is just as likely that it will create an unwanted association with the presence of the one administering the punishment (e.g. the parents) as the bad consequence itself or its cause, contributing to further rebellious or sneaky behaviour, making its effect temporary. Education and nonaggressive, impersonal deterrents (such as educating them about the financial and psychological consequences of teen pregnancy) are far more effective if you want to show them a direct cause-and-effect relationship.
Many students who misbehave in school come from unstable families

Teachers can be trusted to use corporal punishment as an option. They will think about what to do on a case-by-case basis and try to understand why a child is behaving a certain way. Then, if they think it is appropriate and it would help, they may choose to physically punish the student. Sometimes students who misbehave come from families who are too soft on them and do not discipline them enough, so their teachers need to take the task of setting boundaries. For this type of students, corporal punishment may be very helpful.
It is wrong and inappropriate.

So by having this atricle you are stating that parents can not punish their children or teachers can not punish their pupils for misbehaving and causing a disruptance in class rooms and at home? If we all were to follow this article and not punish our children by "striking the fear of God into them" as some say how are we supposed to punish the children? Children are already violent already, by not ceasing this to happen and using corporal punishment it will be come a "living hell" as my father says. I know for a fact cause I was a child at first that slaping a kids hand or grounding them does nothing to cease the problem but makes them more defiant towards rules. By doing this how are we supposed to prepare them for the real world because after you make a big mistake the cops are not going to smack you on the hand and put you in the corner. NO there will be much bigger concequences. So do you want a diciplined next generation or a misbehaving unlawful generation? You tell me... You do realize that most people who beat their children are doing it because it worked for them when their parents used to beat them as children? Also, what makes the U.N. transcendant and all-knowing. I agree with its sentiment, but it is largely mistaken if it thinks that corporal punishment is abuse. Abuse kills, corporal punishment does not.
it works!

Corporal punishment is the most effective way of maintaining school discipline and dealing with juvenile crime. I went to an inner city co-educational primary school in an industrial area during the late 1950s/early 1960s. Academic standards were high. Between 30% and 35% of its pupils passed the 11+ and went to grammar school. Discipline was strict. The headmistress caned or slippered boys and girls on the bottom. Corporal punishment was used for minor infringements of rules, for deliberate defiance and to prevent prosecution for criminal offences. It was more of a deterrent for girls than it was for boys who were always challenging authority and getting into mischief. I and three other boys received “six of the best” for disrupting lessons and refusing to do homework. Not wanting to be caned again, we settled down, worked hard and passed the 11+. The school's major disciplinary problems were caused by ten and eleven year old C stream pupils who lived on a new council housing estate At the beginning of the autumn term, the boys organised playground protection rackets. Some carried flick knives or knuckledusters given to them by elder brothers who had been in prison or borstal. One teacher was attacked with a broken bottle. Although uninjured, he had a nervous breakdown and was away from school for two terms. Girls had jam and marmalade rubbed into their hair. Both boys and girls had their clothes slashed with flick knives. Classrooms were vandalised and on two occasions boys were caught setting fire to coats in the cloakroom. At the time children as young as seven could be prosecuted and sent to approved school. The head was put under great pressure by the staff and the local authority to involve the police in these incidents but she always refused. Unlike many head teachers, she accepted responsibility for her pupils’ behaviour out of school hours. Most weekends she was called to the police station to deal with girls caught shoplifting and boys arrested for assault or vandalism. Often the only way she could persuade the victim to withdraw the charges was to agree to cane the delinquents and the punishments were carried out at school with parental consent. Using corporal punishment efficiently and effectively, she kept the members of the school’s criminal fraternity out of the justice system giving them a chance to escape from their back grounds and make something of their lives. One boy who was caned for vandalism obtained a degree in engineering. Another who had been whacked for rubbing marmalade into a girl’s hair went to university and graduated with a degree in economics. Because Dr. Phil is such an expert I guess his expertise is wiser than our ancestors and our elders who have effectively used corporal punishment to discipline their children- our parents and grandparents even. If we were to listen to them they would tell us that corporal punishment is not for everybody because some children can be settled with a reprimand and disapproving look. That being said, they would still rely on the expediency of the cane because all some of these bad kids need is a good spanking.
bad behaviour is on the increase in the class room

One in five teachers? That is the also the figure then of how many teachers need more training! The only reason why a minority of teachers want to see a reintroduction of corporal punishment is because they do not have any effective discipline methods under their belts. The answer? More training, not resorting to corporal punishment. Also remember that school is for learning and it is the teachers job if the students are doing poorly. Corporate Punishment is just and excuse for teachers to whip and hurt people
it makes a direct link between a behavior and its bad consequences

today boys and girls ignore the consequences of their behavior . They underestimate their responsabilties.Especially when they are teens. A lot of bad accident ,alcoolism, unexpected pregnancy , etc... would be avoid if a strict sentence (i.e. cp) for misbehavior had been far earlier decided and operated . Anticipation, a kind of humiliation and pain are ingredients easy to undrestand....
It is wrong and inappropriate.

To discipline or punish a child through physical violence is clearly a violation of the most basic of human rights. Article 19 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child declares that "Children and young people have the right to physical and personal integrity. All services should ensure that child protection is based on this right and that definitions of abuse do not condone any level of violence to children." As well as being lawfully wrong, corporal punishment is morally wrong. There are plenty of other alternative methods to discipline a child other than beating the child! For example, a person can take away the privileges of the child or prevent them from carrying out their hobbies or even insist that they do some other form of work to make up for their bad behaviour. Nonetheless, physically harming the child is completely inappropriate and unnecessary. Would the conductor of the corporal punishment like it if it were the other way round and it were him/her getting beaten? I think not.
Montaigne

Why would we use that in court instead of jail? What type of mature person is afraid of spanks? Jail is more effective anyways (mostly because of the fear factor). But what does that have to do with school? The point is that some principles and teachers do go way overboard and hurt the children. Then they develop fear and hate. And that's what made terrorism and caused so many hurt and angry teens to join gangs. When that happens we know that corporal punishment is not right and causes more damage than it stops.
bad behaviour is on the increase in the class room

In a survey completed by the Times Educational supplement (1), 6000 teachers were questioned. One in five believed that class room behaviour had deteriorated since the abolition of corporal punishment and they believed the education system would improve with the re-introduction of corporal punishment. We should adhere to the teachers requests.

It has been made illegal in so many countries for a reason.

Many countries out-lawed homosexuality, female workers and abortions, but this does not mean that all of those countries were correct to do so. It only means that these countries were in agreement against something, it does not mean that what they were all advocating was logical or reasonable. The amount of countries that do or do not have corporal punishment out lawed has no bearing on this debate. Yet have any of these countries provided effective supports to parents in helping them discipline and punish out-of-control children? They tell parents that corporal punishment in wrong, but when their child acts out or gets in trouble with the law, they blame the parents. Is that fair? If they want to outlaw corporal punishment then they need to provide supports that are just as effective in deterrence as corporal punishment for parents and teachers to use. Since they have not (other than waging a war on kids with zero-tolerance laws and imprisonment) then what right do they have over how a parent disciplines his/her child or wants his/her child to be disciplined by teachers? The only thing I can agree on is providing regulatory law like Section 59 of New Zealand's Crimes Amendment Act of 2007, that allows only corporal punishment used for reasonable disciplinary action to legislate against other forms of child hitting or California's right to discipline laws, to protect against potential abuse. Of course, as it applies to parents it should apply to teachers as well.
rights culture needs to be impeded

Children’s behaviour has been adversely affected by the rights culture we have in Britain. A teacher cannot threaten a detention, something they are allowed to do, without the retort of “but you can't take away my freedom”, “you have no right” or “I have rights”. In fact children are acutely aware of how much power they have over the teachers by way of laws and rights, and they use every opportunity to remind the teachers of that fact. If we re-introduced corporal punishment this back chat would cease and the power would be retained by the teachers. And detention is not going to be taken seriously by anyone. What does detention do other than waste your time? If you have ADHD or a creative mind you'll have a blast, effectively learning nothing to *correct* your behavior. If this is the only effective authority a teacher has for an out of control student then that teacher is and probably knows his/her authority is rather pitiful.
harms children with genuine behavioural disorders or other disabilities

I think it obvious that a child would not be introduced into a school without the parents being aware of any behavioural disorders or diabilities. What must be taken into account, is a vast majority of cases are attention seeking attempts; in this case, we are to isolate them. Of course, this is used today as a way of dealing with behaviour, but it seems unsuccesful in dealing with behaviour, as people think its cool to go against the system, such as gaining unnecessary ASBOs, or trying to impress friends or admirers. I find the most efficient way of dettering bad behaviour, is embarrasment. In Islamic counties, they use punishments, such as fingers amputated for stealing, public flogging for being abusive to higher authority or stoning for adultry. This is used as a detterance, not only to the person themselves, but to the general public also. It also makes an awareness on how foolish those individuals are, for trying to make themselves cooler, or more impressive. I am currently a sixth form student at a secondary school( high school in some cases), and i can see that younger years are getting "cockier" towards tutors. This is a observation of only a few years, whereas the scale we are talking is much longer. It is this point, where the point i made earlier on being abusive to authority, where corperal punishment should be reintroduced. Sure, children need to learn how to be independant without guidence, and need to learn from their mistakes, but isnt that what corperal punishment was for? Did it not show what will happen, if the individuals did make the wrong decisions? Like i said, corperal punishment showed the consequences of going against higher authority, children need to learn of these consequences, and experience them if they do attempt to go against that authority. As of the cases which include genuine behavioural disorders or disabilities, the school should know of these conditions; thus the right amount of discipline would be administrated.
Montaigne

I believe in Corporal Punishment. It is very effective. Yes, it is true that some Principals go way overboard using too much force to where kids get broken bones and sent to the hospital. But when I was paddled, it hurt, and there was trust and respect for the principal that I had. My parents allowed the principal to paddle me. I only was paddled one time. I was a very good kid in school. I am in my 30's and still haven't been in trouble. The paddle was what saved me from doing wrong. I only wish that we could use paddling in our court system too and for adults who do minor things instead of going to jail. It would be 5 swats per buttock, male or female. Or why not have a robo spanker, which lasts up to 15 minutes and spanks you until your 15 minutes are up.? That is a great idea. I would rather have a sting to my butt for a few days than be in jail. The economy is hurting. The Robo spanker locks your wrists in place you are bent down on a table, and whatever the judge decides on how hard/fast he wants the paddle to swat you would be his choice. In 15 minutes, you will think twice on commiting another crime. Let me know what you think. Thank you. contact me at silvermedalsgirl@yahoo.com You need to cite facts before attributing corporal punishment to gangs and terrorism. Also, try seeing how you'd react if you did something bad and were spanked by the person you admire and love- the one person you try to impress and one of the few you respect. Not only would you cry because of brief pain, but you would cry from shock and shame. You, who thought you were above reprimand or reproof had to be corrected by your honored love one. If that does not prevent you from repeating the unmentionable act then at least you know that when you're rotting in jail you had your chance to straighten up- either that or you're a sociopath.
there has been an increase in crime

You cannot single handedly blame the banning of corporal punishment for the rapid rise in crime. There are many factors, and there is nothing that definitively shows that there is a link between the banning of corporal punishment and the rise in crime. There are many things that have changed and the rise in crime is a combination of some or maybe even all of these factors, things like increase in population, increasing living expectations, the poor and the rich living in a close proximity. We should not bring back corporal punishment on a whim that it may possibly decrease the levels of crime. Also, this theory was tested in America, where it's flipped around and the states in the US that had corporal punishment were the states with the highest murder rates. Those eight paddling states are. in order by murder rate: Louisiana, which has the highest murder rate in the nation (6th in the nation by percentage of students struck by educators); Mississippi, which has the 2nd highest murder rate in the nation (1st by percentage of students struck by educators); Georgia. which has the 4th highest murder rate (7th in the nation by percentage of students struck by educators); Alabama and New Mexico, tied with the 5th highest murder rate in the nation (3rd and 10th, respectively, by percentage of students struck by educators); Tennessee, which has the 7th highest murder rate (4th by percentage of students struck by educators); and North Carolina and Arizona, which are tied with the 9th highest murder rate in the nation (12th and 18th, respectively, by percentage of students struck by educators). The two non-paddling states are: Maryland, which has the 4th highest murder rate; and Illinois, which is tied with Tennessee with the 7th highest murder rate. Murder Rate (lowest): Of the states with the ten lowest murder rates in the nation, educators paddle children in one of them. That paddling state is Idaho, which has the 3rd lowest murder rate (18th by percentage of students hit). The nine non-paddling states are: North Dakota, which has the lowest murder rate in the nation; South Dakota, which has the 2nd lowest murder rate; Maine, which is tied with Idaho with the 3rd lowest murder rate; Vermont, with the 5th lowest murder rate; Iowa, with the 6th lowest murder rate; New Hampshire, with the 7th lowest murder rate; Montana, with the 8th lowest murder rate; Utah, which has the 9th lowest murder rate; and Oregon and Massachusetts, which are tied with the 10th lowest murder rate. http://www.nospank.net/correlationstudy.htm
It has been made illegal in so many countries for a reason.

Corporal Punishment has now been completely banned in 24 countries: Austria, Bulgaria, Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Latvia, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Ukraine, Uruguay and Venezuela. Furthermore, there are numerous countries which are on their way to banning it such as Italy and Nepal, who have forbidden it by the courts but not by law as of yet. Corporal punishment is becoming widely discussed all over the world and the consideration to completely ban it is becoming a frequent query. Therefore, corporal punishment should not be reintroduced as evidently the fact that so many countries are against it portrays the negativity it brings and the banning of it in so many countries must be for a good reason. If there were any doubts all these countries would not have banned it and the UK would not have banned it in schools in the first place! To reinstate something which has already been thoroughly discussed years ago and of which the outcome was negative, would be absurd!
