Can I refuse corporal punishment?

I go to a school in Texas that allows corporal punishment. My mom gave the school consent but I’m 18 and legally an adult. Don’t I have the right to make that decision?

If you're 18 you should know better than to get into that situation

@Virgo79 Exactly. If I’m an adult it shouldn’t even be up for discussion

I think you may be missing his point. Namely that if you behave like an adult why on earth would punishment (of any sort) be deemed necessary. @filmmaker
