In the United States, there are laws protecting children from physical abuse, including at school and home; nevertheless, most American parents think spanking is an appropriate method of discipline for children. There are some countries that have passed anti-spanking laws such as Germany, Sweden, and others, but other countries do not have any support against spanking. Spanking children can leave physical scars, affect mental problems, and be ineffective in that children do not understand which is…

Research substantiates the following consequences of corporal punishment:…

Anger I feel that my essay will appeal to students, parents and the educators as well as maybe a few lawmakers. I feel that it really relates to our school system today. I feel that it is simply asking them to question themselves and say when abuse is considered abuse. I wanted my essay to inform the parents, and persuade to educators and lawmakers that this is definitely a problem.

Some people think that more and more parents abuse corporal punishment and cause deep physical and mental hurts.

Moreover, banning corporal punishment may cause other teenage problems.…
