Surely, corporal punishment, especially for the academic reasons, has a terribly negative impact. When children don't have any right to make mistakes in their academic learning, they will lose interest in exploring knowledge. Furthermore, the teachers will fail to stimulate critical thoughts or encourage investigation and so forth. When the teachers overly abuse corporal punishment, it, as a result, will strangle the development of students' personalities in the cradle. It has been said that mistakes in terms of school learning are part of learning.
All pupils have their academic freedom to be wrong and arrive at their own conclusions.
Maybe it is much easier for them to pretend to be good or even cheat to make their teachers happy. What teachers should bear in mind is that the best way of attracting students' minds is to arouse students' interests in learning. In reality, corporal punishment is a type of personal offense. When teachers paddle their students, the injuries caused by the corporal punishment are not only to their bodies, but also to their minds. Under such terrible learning circumstances, the students are only learning the rigid rules and lifeless dogmas for their mechanical memories.
