I Received Corporal Punishment At School

I did receive very mild corporal punishment at school, but I also spent my entire career as a teacher and later headmaster in schools where corporal punishment was used. Many years of experience leads me to the conclusion that corporal punishment is a very effective tool in a teacherMs armoury and helps improve educational standards.

From my personal experiences, I believe that (as in UK) corporal punishment (CP) for all children should be banned. The imposition of CP can be as a result of pathological symptoms in the perpetrator and it is better to avoid that situation even if some children are fearsome in their behaviour.

Also, when children behave badly, I believe that it almost always as a result of poor upbringing and lack of positive attachment.
