In some cases corporal punishment is not even necessary because in cases where the offense is not very serious then what is the purpose of the child getting physically harmed? Then, on the other hand, if the offense is great enough for physical punishment to be enforced then it should just be enforced to a certain extent. I believe that there is a fine line between punishment and abuse and this should be recognized in schools that still enforce corporal punishment.Another reason that corporal punishment should be banned to a certain extent is because of the reason that some other parents do not want other adults harming their kids in a physical way.

I know that when I have kids I do not want anyone to lay on my kids except for me or my family. Another reason I do not entirely agree with corporal punishment is because of the fact that there are better forms of punishment that exist today. For instance, Say that a child has gotten in trouble doing something, that child would be hurt more if something that they adore were taken away from them for a certain amount of time than if that child were physically harmed. This is a better form of punishment that helps them to learn responsibility and it does not harm the child in any fashion. These are a few good reasons as to why corporal pun...
