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?

Well in the USA 18 states still allow corporal punishment in schools so if the parents did not discipline there child the school did well if the parent allowed it.

@updown2020 Which and how punishments are administered there, Sir?

@MissyChrissy I have no idea but I believe it’s the paddle and the school needs the parents consent at the beginning of the year and before the paddling take place but they have rules on how the paddle has to be done

@updown2020 I guess over pants only?

@MissyChrissy oh yes only over pants or skirt and bent over the desk and paddle is used only.
