Fortunately, the majority of students in NC are in school districts that prohibit corporal punishment. Long a mainstay of eductors from the late 1870's until the 1970's, more effective and longer lasting interventions are being used today. NC's Department of Public Instruction has been introducting one of these alternatives, Positive Behavioral Support, in districts across the state for the past few years. See the DPI website and for additional information. More alternatives to corporal punishment can be reviewed at the Center for Effective Disciplline at and at the Collaborative for Academic Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL) at www.casel.org. The time for physically harming students has come and gone; students should find a safe climate in our schools that promotes the learning of all students.

yes. it didn't hurt the rest of us older folks. we learned from that, not to do it again. there is to much permissiveness in this country today. don't punish Johnny as he might develop a complex. to many permissive parents today. spare the rod, spoil the child.

Yes, the Bible says the rod is to be used for correction, spare the rod spoil the child, foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of correction will drive it from him.When have we gone wrong by obeying the Bible? Who knows better than God? The percentages are obvious those in jail have a higher percentile as children who were not corrected and those not in jail have a higher percentile of having been corrected. The proof is in the rod.

Please show me any study that shows that people in jail were not corrected as much as those not in jail.

Are you kidding?! NO ONE spanks my child. I remember my teachers in elementary school with paddles, and I was horrified. As I parent, it's my responsibility to see that my child is disciplined and orderly in the classroom. If I don't do my part, then I'm the one who should be prosecuted.
