Do you think corporal punishment should be reinstated in schools?
Why or why not?

It should be. I want to Catholic school. If I didn't obey the nun's rules I would get a spanking. If I would go home and tell my parents that the nun spanked me, my mom would call the school to see what I did. After talking to the nun my mom would be so mad that she would often spank me again. So I learned to kept my mouth shut.
Of course, all of this is old school. Nowadays the parents think my little darling never does anything wrong. He's right and the teacher is wrong. Should the teacher even mention even threaten a spanking to the student, the parents may sue the school district. Do you think that corporal punishment should be brought back?

I too attended Catholic school. Had nuns, then in HS priests. You often got slapped, but never spanked. Either that or got slammed up against a wall by one of the priests and read the riot act. In today's society, for the most part I think it is not something (spanking or any physical contact to get a student's attention) that is really condoned.@RemovedUsername825748
@soar2newhighs I think that the spanking part by the nuns is ok but being slammed against the wall by the priest is downright abuse. If corporal punishment is brought back it should be done in moderation. What do you you think?
Hi thanks for your reply. First, in today's very litigious society, and the values and views that are held by many especially with respect to corporal punishment, I doubt we'll see a return to even as you say, corporal punishment in "moderation". And not to make light of your post, remember too, the Catholic church is/has been under siege and the microscope for the alleged massive sexual abuse that went on over the years and was ignored by those who should have acted but did not.That said, if I had to bet money on it, I'd say, no you won't see it re-instated.@RemovedUsername825748
