What are the arguments against corporal punishment being employed for truancy and misbehaviour in general, and the reasons for banning it? We are told it is dangerous, it damages those delicate nerve endings etc in the students buttocks (I rule out here all other physical punishment, including on the childs hands) and therefore should not be allowed. And yet schools play rugby and soccer and all sorts of other activities in which a student can be hurt – if you’ve every been in a rugger scrum or been hit by a cricket ball you’ll know what I mean. In such sports the child can sometimes be badly injured or even killed, a number of cases are reported each year. How many kids were ever badly injured or killed from school CP – none as far as I know, certainly not in the last century.
