We ban schools from using CP but do we ban all those activities I have just mentioned? No! Why, because the benefits outway those other considerations. I believe CP is exactly the same, the advantages far outway the disadvantages.
Another argument is, adults cannot be ‘hit’ so why should a child. Adults are punished by other means, including fines and imprisonment – do we advocate sending kids to jail or fining them? Of course not, imprisnment would be far too cruel and who would pay the fines, the childrens’ parents. So what meaningful punishment is there left for the misbehaving child – no one seems to have come up with the answer to that one. All we hear are cries of “You can’t do that!” or “It NEVER worked!” but never “Let’s do this instead, this WILL work”
