Hitting kids makes them more likely to hit kids. You are not helping a child by abusing them (although the bible would seem to disagree there). Positive reinforcement sprinkled with non physical punishments (with an explanation of why they are being punished) is the way to discipline children, and it appears I would have the backing of the majority of the psychologist and scientific community there. Side: Yes, it should be banned
I do not disagree as such in the way that I think it should be permitted, however I wonder if you could answer the question of how to discipline children who do not care about verbal punishments and only respond acceptably when a physical force is used against them. Side: No, it should not be banned

You're presenting a false dichotomy in which the only two choices are hitting a child or verbally reprimanding them. You can stop them from going out to break, ignore them, whatever. When you hit a child, you are just teaching the child it is OK to hit people and that problems can indeed be solved with violence. Side: Yes, it should be banned
Corporal punishment is not a good idea for schools. Parents raise their children differently and a teacher should not have the right to inflict anything on the child without the parents consent. I would also say that it creates quite a grave environment for learning too, and wouldn't it be demeaning for the child? Like children dont have enough issues already, would this not just add to self-esteem and bullying issues even further? Parents should be notified of misbehaviour and they should deal with it in the best way they feel fit, and if they dont there are alternative ways a school can deal with children that do not involve the use of a cane. Side: Yes, it should be banned

Corporal punishment affects children in their long-run Corporal punishment is used to fix a child’s behavior with physical punishment. It might change the student’s behavior for just a moment, but it couldn’t last long. Not only that it is temporary, it also brings a child affective in their long-run because of the corporal punishments they have received when they were young. According to a research in the United States, children who have suffered from corporal punishment, as adults they present with disorders such as Stress, Depression, and Anxiety to name just a few. Corporal punishment gives the thought to the child that violence is the most acceptable way in any kinds of issue, lowers self esteem and increases rebellious manners, too. Studies have even shown an elevated risk of heart disease related to childhood punishment. Also, amazingly, corporal punishment lowers a child's IQ: A study at the University of New Hampshire, released in 1998-JUL, found that spanking children apparently slows down their intellectual development. A study of 960 children found an average 4 point reduction in IQ who were corporal punished, from average IQ of 102 (above average) for children who are not corporal punished, to an average IQ 98 (below average) for who are. A reduction of 4 points is enough to have a significant negative functional effect on the students. Many struggle their entire lives to engage in healthy satisfying relationships and sadly, when they become parents themselves, they often use the same way to discipline their children as the ones that have received when they were young. Adolescents who receive physical punishment are three times more likely to grow up to abuse their own children, according to Straus. The study by Straus, an American reporter, found that 7 percent of never-spanked adolescents grow up to abuse their children, compared to 24 percent of those who were spanked. It should be noted, however, that the vast majority of people, whether or not they received physical punishment, are unlikely to abuse their children. Also, it could have the child learn ‘violence’. To support my comment, Comments by Parents and Teachers Against Violence in Education (PTAVE) from their website at www.NoSpank.net: "Spanking does for a child's development what wife-beating does for a marriage."In a research, a child who has seen their father hit their mother for many times, have grown up and have put violence upon their wife, too. Also, violence is easily learned through what you see, such as computer games, or by TV programs. Then why not from teachers or from other students who get punished from teachers? In a short run, it could be in a form of bullying, and in a long-run, violence. Even though there is a low percentage of a child becoming violent from corporal punishment, it is wrong to even have the smallest percentage of being able to. Because it gives serious effects to a child in the long-run I believe that corporal punishment should be banned. Side: No, it should not be banned
Should corporal punishment be banned in all schools? No. Schools should be privatized. Parents should be able to decide which school to which they wish to send their child. Government ought never be able to make such decisions. Some schools, as a rule, may be opposed to corporal punishment, and parents who are likewise opposed may not send their children there, whereas other schools may have a policy of corporal punishment, and parents can send their children there if they are not opposed to corporal punishment being used in schools. Another idea: parents could either approve or refuse the use of corporal punishment on their child when enrolling them. Side: No, it should not be banned

I feel that I'm a pretty big libertarian when it comes to almost anything. I only have a problem when it comes down to children. Children can't defend themselves, they don't know any better, and they're bound to make mistakes. That's why we don't put them in adult prisons because, when a child turns 18 (in the U.S.A.), it is believed that they're matured enough to be held responsible for their actions. What's stopping parents from beating their children senseless? Who's to stop them? Unfortunately, it must be the government. No other force is strong enough to do it. Some parents will constantly beat their child and hide under the masquerade that they're just "using their right to teach their own children how they want to teach them, and that you have no right to tell them otherwise." Children need to be protected. Side: Yes, it should be banned
