Corporal Punishment Analysis

Education has improved vastly over the last few years. With the ever-growing industry of technology, corporal punishment being taken away, and increasing opportunities for more people, it is hard not to see the positive changes. With the growth of education, there has been a growth in opportunity as well. There are now more opportunities for more people of different ages. The average age of college students has been slowly evolving. Many people are choosing to go back to school to receive a higher education, and some are just going back to take a few classes and learn something new. Almost every one of my classes has students that are not fresh out of high school. It has been predicted that by 2020 students aged 25+ will make up 43% of all
Many people belive that our children are growing up to not be tough enough. They are offended by everything and need something or someone to bring a little toughness into their lives. I, however, strongly disagree with that. I once heard Pat Mesiti, a financial speaker, speak. One of the stories he told really stood out to me, and has stuck with me ever since. When Mesiti was really young his father used to beat him. In return, he was always a trouble maker at school, constantly talking, distracting the class, a total class clown. So, he often was sent to the principal's office to have his hand smacked with a ruler. One day, when he was in about first grade, he was tracing the alphabet and, despite his best efforts, doing very badly. However, his teacher noticed how hard he was working and, in order to reward him, sent him to the principles office to get a sticker. He walked in with a big smile on his face, and just as he was about to tell the principal that he had done something good, the principal took out her ruler and smacker his hands, telling him what a terrible child he was. A switch flipped inside Mesiti, and from that day on, he vowed to show no respect to authority. From then on his life was changed.. He became involved in a gang...This one moment, this one misunderstanding, changed the coarse of over half of the little boy's life. Corporal punishment is innapropriate and unacceptable, and there is no doubt that it being taken out of our schools was an improvement. Overall, the quality of education has skyrocketed in the past few years. A growing number and increased amount of age-groups has allowed the inclusion of more people than ever before. Technology, which is always growing itself, is helping to make education more accesable and easy. People from all over thewold are getting education. Education is ever-growing and ever-changing, and will continue to improve throughout the rest of
