PA2 BELOW:

Corporal punishment is the oldest tool of inculcating discipline in children. By many measures, the method has been effective in steering children to the right trajectory. Corporal punishment has come under serious attack by activists who universally condemn infliction of pain as a disciplinary tool. They have succeeded in persuading policy makers in many states into abolishing it. The corporal punishment debate has lost objectivity. Many people focus on one adverse consequence emanating from pain without considering the numerous benefits that it offers. This paper provides a rationale on why corporal punishment should continue to be employed in K-12 schools.

It saves learners valuable time as it is quickly administered (Kierra and George, 5). This in turn catapults them into focusing on their studies. Alternative disciplinary measures like suspensions or subjecting the learner to manual work are time wasting. Suspension force students to lose many academic days. This makes it difficult for them to catch up on their course work. Poor academic performance can be occasioned by suspension because learners spend considerable time at home. Personally, I support anything that is time efficient. Corporal punishment strikes an appropriate balance between the need to enforce discipline and apportioning adequate time to learners to actualize their dreams. Some learners rightly prefer it than suspension. They understand the implications of losing study time is not comparable to short lived pain.

A properly regulated corporal punishment is good for all stakeholders. It is fair to state that the bad stories that critics utilize to justify abolition are mainly caused by weak monitoring and leadership (Hans, 28). This causes some rogue actors to go overboard. Misuse of any practice deserves condemnation. However, this does not imply that corporal punishment should be banned in totality. I support regulations aimed at preventing misuse of corporal punishment. It is vital to recognize that alternative forms of punishment are not immune to misuse. They can be used to settle personal grievances with learners instead of their rightful disciplinary role. Corporal punishment should not be banned based on specific shortcoming that can easily be solved through regulation. Such actions will set a bad precedent that can be exploited to ban anything without experimenting on remedial actions.
