I Received Corporal Punishment At School

I would be very interested to know in how many countries school corporal punishment is still used today.

I was a teacher in the UK when corporal punishment was still used, but it was abolished in state schools in the 1980s and in private schools in the 1990s.

@raftdfryhuu I gather it's used in public schools in a few statements but in private schools in most.

@littlepinklotus do most schools in Texas paddle, or only a minority?

You can find some truly committed caning being done in schools and homes in the Far East; Myanmar, Vietnam and Thailand. There was even a very pretty teenage YouTube star who did a video report on how she was caned in a private school, I think it was in Malaysia.

There are some areas here in the southern US where it's still allowed but I've never heard of one doing it.

I do not know of any Canadian school that uses it.

@chrisCA when did it cease to be used in Canadian schools?
