Corporal Punishment in Schools Essay

Public Schools The NIH (National Institute of Health), (2012) defines ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) as a “childhood brain disorder” (p. 1). It further defines the symptoms as, difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity, and impulse control (NIH, 2012). This behavior is known to be challenging at both home and school. The typical discipline practices for this cohort range from behavior support to forceful action. According to the Human Rights Watch (2009) “Corporal punishment is…

I believe corporal punishment is an effective way of raising behaved children only if it is doing it the right way. I my be a bad mom, but I have had the principal give my son pops a couple of times, because of his behavior. I am a single parent and there is not a man in his life and when I give him pops at house sometime it works and sometimes it don’t. I was a little worried about the first time that the principal gave my son pops and I’m think that it would be impossible to give him pops,…

disciplinary actions over the three years at Walters School indicate three major trends, or patterns, in the data given. The most noticeable trend was the increasing percentage rate of disciplinary actions on office referrals for black males in the categories of corporal punishment, in-school suspension, other and out-of-school suspension. Corporal punishment of black males doubled in percentage of action from 41.57% in 2204 to 81.82% in 2006. In-school suspension for black males maintained the…

Jacoby’s basic argument is that flogging or corporal punishment should be a justifiable way to punish prisoners instead of jail time. A reason for this is there is an overload of prisoners in the United States justice system today. Furthermore it is actually quite expensive for the United States to keep all of the prisoners locked away, so one option to make it quite a bit cheaper would be to reinstitute corporal punishment. Due to the abundance of prisoners many first or second offenders are…

only if they occur at school, within 300 feet of school property, or at a school- sponsored event. These are: 1) any conduct punishable as a felony, 2) an assault resulting in bodily injury 3) certain drug offenses; 4) certain alcohol offenses 5) inhalant offenses; 6) public lewdness and 7) indecent exposure. A school district has the authority to expel a student for certain drug, alcohol, and assaultive offenses” (Textbook). According to the Educator’s Guide to Texas School Law, students who…

kneel in the corner of their living room for a half an hour, and that struck me as so completely bizarre, but now it makes sense. Punishment and discipline is very controversial. I was raised in a household where physical punishment was not accepted; I actually do not believe that any of my friends from home were punished physically, it consisted of more verbal punishments. It was not until I started going to UNH and met my roommate and others that they had talked about being hit with a belt…

I am convinced that one of the main reasons that you've made such good progress with LAP and taking a cane again, is that you got your backside clattered both regularly and properly by your uncle. In a similar way to the lads at school being disappointed not to see stripes across your buttocks when you'd been caned, I am always surprised that the welts from my best efforts have almost faded away before I've even left for the evening! Well Mark, if you want to make a longer lasting impression,…

School Where did you complete high school? Is it in the United States or other different countries like Eritrea? People have had different experience from different countries. Every country has different curriculum at education. In Some countries like my country, education is not priority; however, country like America, education is the most priority. Although there is school in my country, most people don’t go to school. Many people prefer to work than go to school because of the…

19 out of 50 States still allowed corporal punishment in schools. I find this surprising since the primary objective of school is to educate and not to discipline. On the other hand there are no laws restricting the use of corporal punishment in the home in any of the 50 States. It is up to the parent(s) or caregiver to decide whether the use of corporal punishment is appropriate. Further parent(s) or caregivers are left to determine how to administer the punishment and to what degree. Under…

disallowing cruel and unusual punishment. So far, eighteen out of the fifty states have made executions illegal, while three others have halted it under their current governors. Corporal punishments should be made illegal in the remaining thirty-two states. The reasons for this include the execution of potentially innocent victims, the racism involved in deciding who is guilty, and the unreliable consistency of the use of corporal punishment. The use of corporal punishment has never been fair or…
