Serving licks or more technically speaking; Corporal punishment, restraint, seclusion and other forms of discipline inflicted by teachers and administrators have the same effects that bullying and harassment by a students peers do. It doesn’t matter whether it is kids or teachers doing the hitting or intimidating, they all create an environment of fear and hostility that results in damage to our kids and lower academic performance. Reports conservatively say that school officials hit over 200,000 kids each year, chalked up as justifiable punishment for acting out. The truth is that these beatings are not only wrong, but theyre ineffective. And that is the rub or the KA-POW!, because here too, research studies show that corporal punishment leads to higher rates of absenteeism and lower academic achievement talk about counter productive?!?! And, like bullying and harassment, those who are corporally punished are disproportionately minorities or children who have disabilities. ved as fair and it must be cathartic / provide atonement.
