To Spank or Not To Spank
What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
Jane Goodall, English primatologist and anthropologist
"Should teachers be allowed to spank students?" This is the provocative headline in an article in Time (Oct. 15, 2012). The article pointed out that...
- "77% of parents oppose spanking by teachers.
- "...researchers say there is little evidence that spanking actually works to change children's behavior for the better.
- "In fact, kids spanked tend to be more aggressive than other kids and are likelier to develop behavioral problems as they get older.
- "Some studies show that corporal punishment can even lower IQs."
Despite all this, Time notes that 19 states still permit corporal punishment.
