One of the major problems facing schools today is the ill-discipline in our learners, the problem has caused a lot of tensions between teachers and students. Some state that teachers has no power as the government has passed the law that corpral punishment is illegal in our schools. But the question is, is corpral punishment the effective way of keeping discipline in the class?
Taking into consideration that schools teach children civilization I find it not necessary to whip children like donkeys. Using corporal punishment is like telling them that the only way to solve problems is by being violent. Most of the students become pain-resistant that they no longer feel anything no matter how many times you beat them. They see beating as a little game they play with their teachers.
According to the researches corpral punishment gives pain in the flesh not the inner person. It does not make any difference. The only thing that can maintain discipline is by talking to them, there no powerfull disciplinarian as the mouth. The pain can go away but words stay forever in the mind.
As professionals whipping children look as uncivilized and having problems with problem solving and maintaining discipline.
