Should corporal punishment be in schools there is a debate didnt get to pick side need help please?

Answer 1

yes the cane should be brought back into schools and here is why

In schools there are bullies who torment their classmates for fun, research proves that most teachers cannot control the classroom environment, we are producing a generation that has not been properly taught right from wrong.

In some cases we know that detentions after school are sometimes sufficient for some students and they change their ways, but in most cases this proves to be un-sufficient especially as students become wiser and start taking advantage in detentions to verbally abuse their teachers. Is this acceptable? I say no.

School truancy figures in England are up and a recent report into secondary school discipline showed that levels of bad behaviour were on the increase we need to work together to make a better environment for students who want a good education.

No corporal punishment should not be allowed back into the schools. A child that bullies and torments other children; disruptive in the classroom; unruly and misbehaving in a manner that is assualtive and combative with others should be tested by the school psychologist and a plan should be developed to address the needs of the child. Many times children that act out in the classroom suffer with learning disabilites or some type of neuological disorder. Prior to "hitting" the child to curb "certain" behaviors, explore what is going on with the child and the child's home environment. Children in today's society are exposed to tremendous "stimulants" in the home through and by television/computers/telephones/ magazines, radio, friends/relatives, poor parenting by the parents, diet or lack thereof, etc. -- Advocate for "intervention and prevention" programs for kids in the school environment. Advocate for a change in the school curriculum. If children have poor communication skills then educate them on how to communicate their needs in a more effective manner, etc. --- There is a reason for the "bad" behaviors of a child. We need to enhance the antiquated model that our schools are based on and reflect the changes that have occurred in Society over the past fifty years.

AnswerNo it shouldn't actually. Stupid liberals think it should though. And what happens if a "child" hits first. If I were a teacher I would hit back and not care about the consequences. The "child" would have to prove it anyway an even with marks that would be difficult.

Yes, it serves no purpose other than to establish who has the power over whom. If an adult struck another adult because they believed the person was not behaving in an acceptable manner, he or she would be guilty of the crime of assault and battery. Children deserve the same protection under the law as adults including in school. "People are not for hitting, and children are people too"; therefore no one has the right to use physical force as a disciplinary measure.

Corporal punishment should be illegal in all schools. If a child acts out in school, something is going on with the child and that needs to be explored. "Hitting" as a means to resolve or provide cure is like "pouring gasoline to put out an existing fire". Greater emphasis needs to be placed in facilitating avenues within the school environment for the child that is suffering. In lieu of "hitting" the child and calling that "the cure", let us teach the child a more effective means of communicating to get their needs met.
