Corporal punishmentBeat the students! Beat the students! Beat the students! The way most school systems want to discipline their students in the school system is to beat them. This is what most schools think of as corporal punishment. Corporal punishment has been used in schools for centuries. Many schools have limited the use of corporal punishment, but most schools continue to use it. Corporal punishment is defined as “physical pain inflicted on a child's body as punishment for disapproved behavior.” These physical pains that schools allow to be applied to students have become a problem. These problems consist of physical injuries and lawsuits. Over half of the states in the United States have banned corporal punishment, while the remaining states have allowed it with restrictions. The question is: does corporal punishment decrease student behavior in the school system? Corporal punishment was designed to use physical pain to limit student behaviors. There are many corporal punishment projects and many statistics that outline the problem of corporal punishment in school systems. The original design of corporal punishment is to drive the student away from misbehaving. This design resulted in excessive beating of students. Such beatings resulted in hospital visits to treat bruises, scars, blisters and other physical injuries. Corporal punishment seems effective, but most students have become accustomed to the beatings or will be embarrassed by spanking or spanking and will continue to misbehave. The aim of the original project is to stop or reduce student misbehavior, but corporal punishment has been at the center of controversy and has not reduced misbehavior in the school... middle of paper... the project goes from improve discipline to create more discipline problems, then it is not a good form of discipline. Corporal punishment should be left to the parents, if the parents are unable to do so, and then another form of discipline should be applied. References Han, S. (2011).
