Corporal punishment, an official punishment for misbehaviour
by school students, involves striking the student a number of times in
a generally methodical and premeditated ceremony. The punishment
is usually administered either across the buttocks or on the hands,
with an implement specially kept for the purpose such as a rattan
cane, wooden paddle, slipper, leather strap or wooden yardstick. Less
commonly, it could also include spanking the student in a deliberate
manner on a specific part of the body with the open hand, especially
at the elementary level.
Advocates of school corporate punishment argue that it provides
an immediate response to indiscipline and that the student is quickly
back in the classroom learning, rather than being suspended from
school. Opponents believe that other disciplinary methods are equally
or more effective. Some regard it as tantamount to violence or abuse.
In most of the places now a days where it is allowed .corporal
punishment in public school is governed by official regulation laid
down by governments or local education authorities, defining such
things as the implement to be used, the number of strokes that may be
administered, which members of staff may carry it out. And whether
parents must be informed or consulted. Depending on how narrowly
the regulations are drawn and how rigorously enforced, this has the
effect of making the punishment a structured ceremony that is legallydefensible in a given jurisdiction and of inhibiting staff from lashing
out on the spur of the moment. The first country in the world to
prohibit school corporal punishment was Poland ,in 1783.
