I can only refer to experiences in Britain.
I have no personal knowledge of CP in the USA. The USA is a country that whilst creating money for the legal profession persuing any sniff of child abuse practises a form of CP and suffering in the Middle East.
It is an absolute fact that discipline in British schools was proportional to the use of CP, as CP became unfashionable amongst trendy do-gooders then bad behavior increased.
I would never advocate draconian punishments for every misdemeanor but its threat and occasional use certainly kept the majority in check.
Of course, avoiding CP could make pupils lie to cover up their mistakes and normal pupils would avoid it at all costs. This is an education for the real world at least.
