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.

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