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?
smileylovesgaming · 31-35, F
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
StrictOldManUK · 61-69, M
@Kzatovhich Wow that is quite a set of punishments, not just using an implement but physical exercise as well.

Ikr. Older generations had it much worse.

@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 · 61-69, M
Well corporal punishment is allowed in 18 states,
freyamartin · 41-45, F
@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.
Rickie4 · 56-60, M
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!
Calmalways · 46-50, M
it is still used in many countries
Philip06 · 18-21, M
In some boardings yep
freyamartin · 41-45, F
@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!
freyamartin · 41-45, F
@ArtieKat I live in the UK now but I grew up in South Africa.
