Corporal punishment still used in schools?

I grew up in a culture where corporal punishment was used widely in schools. I now live in the UK where corporal punishment has been illegal in all schools (private and state) for years. How many countries are there where school corporal punishment is still common?

A shame it is not longer used really, it was quite beneficial.

Looking at the state of the UK they need it back in schools badly

@MasterLee not just in the UK. Gee kids are terrible these day's

@smileylovesgaming Seems a good idea if the parents agree but then again as you say if the Principal doesn't believe in it than it won't happen. Do a lot of decisions lie with the Principal in US schools or are they laws at state or country level?

I think it is allowed at my old school with permission from the parent's. But I don't know if the new Principal even uses it.

It's illegal but still widely used in Indian schools

@Kzatovhich Wow that is quite a set of punishments, not just using an implement but physical exercise as well.

@StrictOldManUK
Ikr. Older generations had it much worse.
StrictOldManUK · 61-69, M
@Kzatovhich Yes I think that is why older generations are more in favour, they have seen how, used properly, it can have good effects.
There was a brief news item about a bill in the House of Rep. over here that would outlaw cp even in private schools NATIONALLY! Currently is bogged down in a Committee!

@updown2020 I know it some places it is allowed but not widely used. Is it widely used in those states?
Justme264 · 70-79, M
@freyamartin I believe it is widely used in those states and that one has reintroduced the allowance of it for public schools.

It was banned in the UK in the mid 1980s. It was quite widely used when I was at school and when a boy was caned the event was discussed at break with all the details of what happened. I developed a strange curiosity to find out what it was like and deliberately got into trouble to get caned. I have posted about it elsewhere but I never regretted getting two strokes!

@Philip06 in what country?
ArtieKat · M
Whereabouts in the world did you grow up,@freyamartin? Corporal punishment was finally outlawed in Private Schools in England in the late 1990s. You're just old enough, by my calculations lol!

@ArtieKat I live in the UK now but I grew up in South Africa.
