Physical punishment should be allowed in school.

형준 : (cogent)I agree with physical punishment because the teachers’s authority is encroached. physical punishment is a basic means to control the students. It is difficult for one teacher to control many students.

jamie : (interjection) Teacher can teach students without physical punishment. The many teachers think that a punishment is the best way in our society. Don't you think that is wrong?

kate : If the teachers can’t control the students, they will lose the teachers’s authority. (statistic)In infringement of teachers’s authority that occurred in the last year , unfair act is accounted for 40% by the students and parents. The number of infringement of teachers’s authority is increased 12-times than twenty years ago. (reference)For example, some students swore to a teacher in front of parents. Another students beat a head of a teacher 3-times because the teacher make him angry. (emotional appeal&words)If the teachers’s authority is invaded cruelly, who protects the teachers’s authority?

Jamie : (Cogent argument) In these days, one of the most commonly practiced strategies used by teachers to alter long term behavior of their students is physical punishment. Physical punishment has been used in schools as a way of handling disciplinary problems. It refers to school rules which allow students to be punished using physical pain without causing injury. It is believed that using punitive method can promote students’ obedience and reduce problematic behavior and discipline students indirectly. However, I believe that physical punishment has a lot of side-effects and will bring more harm than benefits. Therefore, the practice of physical punishment in schools should be abolished.
(References and Statistics) The evidence that physical punishment is harmful to children, adults and societies is overwhelming more than 150 studies show associations between physical punishment and a wide range of negative outcomes, while no studies have found evidence of any benefits. One of these surveys from the American Academy of Pediatrics shows that more than 90% of teachers who inflicted physical punishment said that it was so effective that their students followed them immediately and changed their misbehavior. However, contrary to this fact, nine in ten students said that the physical punishment affects them mentally as they were humiliated from their teacher. In addition, through such punishment, the change in behavior is short-lived. The American Academy of Pediatrics indicates that “Students subjected to physical punishment may grow insecure, or violent.”
(Emotional appeal and words) As we can see in this research, physical punishment can cause some students to become withdrawn, anxious, isolated fearful, or rebellious.

Bonnie : (interjection) : But, I don’t think so. Aftereffect by corporal punishment is not a problem of corporal punishment. It is depend on the qualification of teachers. And it is not the only the side effects.

jamie : The fear of physical punishment can encourage the students to lie and cheat to avoid the punishment. Let’s think this problem as your family problem. What if your sister or brother is suffering from this matter? What if they do not want to go to school because of this matter? We should realize that this is still a huge issue in our society and need to find the effective alternatives to physical punishment.
(Contrast) Here is a great case of using effective alternatives. In many countries, including Canada, Kenya, South Africa, New Zealand and nearly all of Europe, physical punishment in schools has been outlawed. Also, not all of Unites States banned physical punishment, but they apply a rule rigorously instead of physical punishment. In these countries, teachers try to talk and use warm words instead of actions, listen to their children, explain reasons, use positive reinforcement, and teach by example. These effective alternatives provide parents and teachers with greater understanding of children's development, present strategies which can lead to less violent behavior in children and adults, and decrease the frustration and helplessness in parents which often lead to physical punishment.

kate : (opposition)You may think the students have a human rights. Your thinking is right. Every persons are protected in law, because they are equal. But the teachers and students are not a same relation in school. The teachers have a responsibility to guide the students, the students also have a responsibility to conform to the teachers. But many students don’t conform to the teachers. Even they abuse the teachers shouldn't hit them. (contrast)For example, united kingdom has discarded a no-touch policy. It was first time for Labour government to abolish the policy in almost 13-years. The students predisposed to violence increased because the teachers shouldn't touch their bodies. Therefore, the teachers lost their authority and a problem that injured students was increasing was appeared.

jamie : (Anticipation of opposition) Of course, it is the hard work that one teacher teaches many students without physical punishment and sometimes they think it can be justified. But as soon as you give out physical punishment, it can teach students that an acceptable way to solve problems is by using violence. Physical punishment is often given out in the heat of the moment and allows the parents or teachers to momentarily lose control, so while a smack on the bottom is unlikely to injure a child, the act itself opens the door to possibility of other physical punishments. It impacts negatively in the short- and long-term on their mental and physical health, education and cognitive development. Far from teaching children how to behave, it impairs moral internalization, increases antisocial behavior and damages family relationships. It increases aggression in children, is linked to intimate partner violence and inequitable gender attitudes and increases the likelihood of perpetrating and experiencing violence as an adult. Respect for children’s rights to protection, health, development and education requires that all physical punishment of children be prohibited in law and eliminated in practice. As a result, a teacher who has a conversation with students humanly needs no physical punishment. Although educators meet difficult situations in actuality, they do their best to discipline students with warm words and alternative ways instead of the physical punishment. Educator must love, encourage, and embrace students and should realize the amazing power of love.

Bonnie : (Cogent argument) I agree with corporal punishment because teens do not know how to behave in front of the elderly or have little or no respect for elder people. Doing corporal Punishment alerts a student when they are wrong. Though it could be excessive, they knew they will get corporal punishment as they did false behavior.
And, I think it would help the students who did wrong action develop into the well-disciplined people.

kimjuwon : (interjection) NO, it isn’t helpful for student. Physical punishment have risk of low self-esteem and make under stress. Sometimes, when teacher have physical punishment, students can have an attitude of defiance.
Some students can be juvenile delinquents.

Bonnie : So, I think teachers must have their own standards as they beat their students for educational purpose and they should experience anger management first.
Actually, in order to train yourself like that way, you need to join seminars about corporal punishment, so that teachers won't just beating students doing excessive behavior.
(References and Statistics) Principal of Calhoun Elementary, South Carolina, David Nixon, a supporter of corporal punishment in schools, says that as soon as the student has been punished he can go back to his class and continue learning, in contrast to out-of-school suspension, which removes him from the educational process and gives him a free “holiday”

The outcome resulted from the research about the use of physical punishment on-campus, were that, 'educational physical punishment should be allowed' is 79%, 'corporal punishment will stopped in any case' is 16%, except that, the major opinion about teachers were on the positive side on physical punishment so that eight out of ten tend to think that physical punishment for educational purpose is good.
(Anticipation of opposition) you may advance an opinion about aftereffect of corporal punishment. victim of physical punishment will complain of suffering. according to wikipedia, We’re government recommendations are that the stick should not be thicker than 1.5 cm (0.59 in) in diameter and that the number of strokes should not exceed 10. Therefore punishment is a matter of teachers mentality. Accidents are caused by Corporal Punishment didn’t observe the rules currently being enforcement rules.

Kimjuwon : (Cogent argument) physical punishment is harmful and can hinder students later in life.
(Reference)The psychology professor at the university of Yunsae stated “physical punishment is of limited effectiveness and has potentially deleterious side effects.”
The child and adolescent psychiatry said that physical punishment signals to the student that away to settle interpersonal conflicts is to use physical force and inflict pain. They may fail to develop trusting secure relationships with adults and fail to evolve the necessary skills to settle disputes.
(emotional appeal)If you beat a student up he can only fear you.

kate :(interjection)Actually the almost teachers don’t hit the students to ignore a personality of the students. And the teachers also don’t hit the students without any reason. The students provide them with some reasons.

Kimjuwon : Even though students have make a mistake, they can never respect you.
Apart from many that physical punishment in school causes in the mind of student who is not free to think can never come up with new ideas and thoughts.
(emotional words&appeal)If you son or daughter are totally dominated by sadness or trauma due to physical punishment, you can not beat a student up anymore.

Bonnie : (emotional appeal&words) These days, a lot of the shoulders of the teacher looks so worn out. But it's doesn't mean that they have serious problem. Teachers suffered from lots of depression that come from students deceiving teachers, as well as, students who refused to attend school by Fear of physical punishment. Both students and teachers are precious child at home. I also claim that punishment should only be allowed by school rules if trouble-makers continuously do bad behavior.
Listen to me.
-2009, Middle School Girls beat groups – punishment of wrongdoing students - 3 days on campus to serve.
-2012, Daegu middle school students suicide – penalties of wrongdoing students - one to two weeks to serve the campus. What do you think this situation?
Prior to referring the child protection laws, The rules allow a bit of physical punishment should be administered.
(Contrast)Some countries allow corporal punishment on school. for example, India ,Malaysia ,Burma, the Argentine Republic, Singapore , Egypt, Japan etc.

Yang kang : (interjection) By looking at the countries that you pointed out, all of them, except Japan, are either developing countries (India, Myanmar and Argentina) or Islam countries where Islamic Sarah Law such as Malaysia, and Egypt. In contrast to well developed western countries, such as Canada, USA, the UK, New Zealand, and most west European EU countries, physical punishment has been banned for years that physical punishment may sometimes be regarded as a physical abuse or crime.

Bonnie : But the 19 U.S. states that have not banned it are mostly in the South. It is still used to a significant (though declining) Among to them, I will tell you about Singapore. Corporal punishment is legal in Singapore schools (for male students only), and fully encouraged by the government in order to maintain strict discipline. Only a light rattan cane may be used. This must be administered in a formal ceremony by the school management after due deliberation, not by classroom teachers. The Ministry of Education has stipulated a maximum of six strokes per occasion. Thus many countries are implemented corporal punishment in schools .

Kim juwon : (Statistics)In one study, 93% of teachers reported that students repeated the same behavior even after being spanked for it. This study shows that physical punishment is no effect. Physical punishment in U.S public schools continues to decrease steadily. After this study, 31 states have banned school physical punishment. In the 2008~2012 school year, 223,190 school children in the U.S were subjected to physical punishment. This is a significant drop of almost 18%.

(Anticipation of opposition)You could be argued that teacher can beat students up to teach them appropriate ways to behave. But it is not true. I personally feel that physical punishment trigger a sense of revolt and revenge in the minds of students.

(Contrast) In compare with Indiana, Florida, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Texas, these countries banned and outlawed physical punishment. But these countries student were satisfied with their teacher and followed the rules.

yangkang :
(cogent argument)Physical punishment may leave a dark impression on little kids’ minds and cause a negative cycle of hatred. It is a wrong way of teaching the little kids that violence and physical punishment can fix the problem or mistake. The little kids may therefore copy the same act of physical punishment and use again the physical punishment against other kids.

According to the UK’s well-known “Thames Times Educational Report” in 2000, 55% of the interviewed opposed to physical punishment, and in 2008 the same survey showed that the results have increased to 71%. This explains the strong public opinion that those who opposed physical punishment have increased significantly over the years.
Many people think that only physical punishment can correct the kids’ inappropriate behavior or wrong attitude. Many parents also believe that only teachers who use physical punishment can help the kids to become well-disciplined students. In my opinion, some teachers who are emotionally or mentally unstable and bad at anger management, may use that excuses as per parents’ request, to take advantage of this abuse and hurt the kids through physical punishment. Those who suffered from physical punishment may have thus developed the anti-social behavior from their childhood years. How unfortunate and sad it is that those kids should be enjoying the childhood years with a lot of laughters and smiles, but they are only now living in fears and sense of exclusion from the peer kids group.
