Corporal punishment was banned here in 1986. I’ve only witnessed one incident of that in kindergarten when a boy wouldn’t listen to our teacher. His behavior was pretty outrageous before the teacher spanked his bottom with an open hand. I remember being jolted watching it.
In prep school, there were far less behavior issues because our parents paid for our education and you could be expelled. JUG was our detention = which stood for Justice Under God.
What about the complex ptsd and other triggers that result from corporal punishment? Do you think that doesn’t impact society? I’m still trying to find a direct link to corporal punishment and lower crime rates….
My kids never received corporal punishment. Not once has either or my kid acted like an animal. There were consequences, but never physical.
It's bullshit that kids need to be physically punished to be disciplined.
Discipline comes from the word disciple - a follower of a leader/teacher...
