Ban of physical punishment in school

Ban of physical punishment in school

Two people gave a presentation on ban of physical punishment in school last Monday. Actually, their topic was hot issue in our society few years ago. So, it was pretty familiar. In my opinion, I disagree that physical punishment in school should be banned. There are two reasons to support my opinion.

First, actually I agree that there are some teachers who treat the students by physical violence.

But, that`s violence not physical punishment. I mean teachers must not use physical violence when they teach the students but I think physical punishment is acceptable. We should not ban it just because of few violent teachers. I guess we`d better control them first.

Second, if we stop physical punishment there is nothing teachers can do to control dozens of students. There are always some troublemakers. In order to control them, teachers should use physical punishment I think. If not, they will spoil atmosphere of the classroom, then many other students will be disturbed by them.

For these two reasons, I really want to say teachers need to use physical punishment. Students are just students. I mean they are lack of self-control. So, it`s much better to lead them in the right path by using it. Of course, I don`t mean violence is a good method to do that. Only proper physical punishment is necessary to make schools better.
