Corporal Punishment?
August 15, 2011 at 2:49 pm
I'm gonna do a reverendjeremiah style poll, and see what people think about this.

Whilst watching the news, it was said that some people thought that we should (in the UK) bring back corporal punishment, due to the apparent lack of discipline in UK society after the recent riots.

What are the thoughts about this at AF?
Do you guys think corporal punishment works? Is it necessary?
Please vote in the poll, and if you wish to do so post some reasons why you voted the way you did.

To clarify first though, I want to know people's opinions on corporal punishment in classrooms as a disciplinary device to be used by teachers. Not at home or when used by parents. Maybe that can be done in another thread.
