Corporal Punishment in Schools

People may ask about the origin of corporal punishment and introduce this type of discipline to the school. According to Donnelly & Straus (2005), in more Anglo-Saxon space early settlers may bring their own existing practices from Europe. Therefore, this indicates that the civilization of the Western Hemisphere did not physically punish their children. Mitchell (2008) believes that this form of punishment arises from US slavery and African-American abuse.

Poland is the first country that prohibited corporal punishment at school in 1783. The school's corporal punishment has not been done in any European countries. As of 2016, 128 countries including the majority of Europe, South America and East Asia are prohibiting corporal punishment at school. Approximately 69 countries, including parts of the United States, several Australian states, and some countries in Africa and Asia, still allow corporal punishment at school.

Despite the literature on the influence of parent corporal punishment on health and school performance, corporal punishment in schools has not been fully researched. Related studies link the use of corporal punishment in schools to the harmful physical and psychological effects of children and provide evidence of their long-term effects. According to these studies, children exposed to corporal punishment at school experienced feelings of behavior disorder, lack and resentment, reduced aggression and violence, reduced experience, problem-solving skills, social skills, academic achievement There is a tendency to decrease. Other studies have shown that child receiving corporal punishment at school has few vocabulary, poor grades at school and low IQ score, so corporal punishment at school may interfere with child's cognitive development .
