Another reason as to why spanking can make a child misbehave more is because the child might not always understand their parents intentions. As a child, it can be difficult deciphering the reason as to why their parent spanked them.

One piece that we read this year in LCS that has stuck in my memory was the poem Behind Grandma’s House by Gary Soto. While we did not spend a ton of time on this piece, this poem made me think on a deeper level, and as a result has stuck in my mind. What caught my attention in this poem was the ending when the grandmother punches the boy square in the face. In addition to seeming to being unexpected, the Grandma’s actions made me consider the morality of hitting children. In 2016, society has a…
