Effect of corporal punishment in schools on children
Corporal punishment is an offensive act in terms of physical torture. Yet, there are still some schools that are practicing it. In my view, corporal punishment can not be a proper way to discipline children. Punishing children in schools may lead to resentment and fear against teachers and also they may become misfit later in the society.
First, it should be noticed that children at school age are sensitive and impressionable. Corporal punishment in the form of spanking, hitting, pinching and slapping would have negative influence on children. Those schools that exert physical punishment will cause physical harm on them. In this case, some reports can still be seen in newspapers. Therefore, children will resent their teachers and become disrespectful toward them. They may loss their motivation to pursue their education as a result of this negative impact. Therefore, corporal punishment will lead to a deplorable result among youths.
Also, teachers, as a role model, play an important role on children’s behavior. Punishing children in front of their classmates is humiliating and will lead to some psychological complications. They may become aggressive or depressed and engage in bad reactions such as vandalism or committing suicide. However, schools can practice moderate punishment not in the form of physical torture to encourage children to behave in a right way.
In conclusion, since education system has a fundamental role on forming children’s characteristics, it is essential to consider how this system should act. According to the reasons cited above, it seems that corporal punishment does not really work as intended. Nevertheless, rabbit and stick policy would be a beneficial act to discipline children. Though, since many schools have abandoned this trend during last decade, we can be optimistic that in future there will be no schools to exert it.
