Ms Moffat's Class

81 percent of all Americans believe that spanking is the best option for disciplining children. This means more than half of America agrees that disciplining kids physically is the way to go.

One hit at a young age is enough to set a child straight because they will know the consequences to their actions, and I highly doubt that once a child knows that they will get spanked by behaving badly, they aren't going to want to be spanked again

This happens because the parents allow it more. It is possible that the black kids or the boys have parents who allow and support physical abuse more, it isn't the school just targeting these people because schools cant do it without parental consent.

As well as wasting the class time with a lecture, the child is wasting more time after school, during, lunch or even on a weekend in detention. If the child is simply spanked once, it uses up a minute of the teachers and their own time, not an hour of everyone's time

The child was abused because the parent agreed to it, in fact, the mother was filming the video of the child being spanked, meaning she was completely okay with it, so there is no reason to complain about this being unfair or cruel if the childs own mother agreed to it

It won't make the school a violent environment because the child isn't being spanked in front of the whole school, and it isn't the kids hitting each other, it is the teachers hitting the kids with parent consent.

By comparing them to being trained like cattle means you are referring to them as cattle and that they are treated that way when really, disciplining a child, and training an animal are two completely different things.

Corporal punishment is one of the quickest and effective ways to discipline a child who is acting up. Children who are misbehaving become a quick distraction to the entire learning environment, especially because if a teacher is spending their class time giving a lecture, it damages the other childrens learning and distracts them. Corporal punishment allows this to be dealt with in a quick and swift way.

Discipline isn't overrated, it puts the kids in line and makes them behave better, rather then teachers giving uneffective lectures, that won't help the kid in the long run.

Children or teenagers who have been physically punished are more likely to never ever repeat their bad behavior, and fix it instantly. In fact most students would rather take a hit than use their afterschool time sitting in a classroom getting a lecture.
