Corporal punishment still used in schools?

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

In general or just the developed world?

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.

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

It is legal in some states in the U.S.

It's illegal but still widely used in Indian schools

Not onky is corporal punishment still allowed in parts of the US, Trial by Combat has never been abolished. It doesn't fall under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court so the courts under it can't rule against it.

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!

Well corporal punishment is allowed in 18 states,

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!

It’s no longer as common as it should be.

it is still used in many countries

In some boardings yep

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!
