Are there still schools that advocate it?

I know there are some schools that do still use corporal punishment. But even those seem to be very reluctant about it. As a last resort, opt out possible and so on. Is it just what they write publicly in the student and parent handbooks or is it their real policy about it? Are there still schools like many decades back that positively use corporal punishments as a primary tool for classroom discipline?

19 of 50 states here in the US still allow the paddle....but within each state local policies to use or not use is in effect. In schools where paddling is allowed often parental consent and notification is required.
