Even if it were legal I question whether corporal punishment has a place in a school, at least in a school where we hope to nurture children to become self-motivated learners and virtuous people.

It absolutely has a place. Nurture and discsipline are not exclusive of each other. In fact they must go together. Spare the rod spoil the child if I remember my Psalm correctly or was that Proverbs? Teachers are very limited in what they can do to discsipline. They end up sending them to the Principal's office...oooooooo. They can't do anythign either. That's why school districts now have their own police force. SCHOOL DISTRICTS!

Bring back the paddle, Let teachers have some actual authority.

I knew a Subdeacon also a history teacher that told a young girl he was going to give her a zero on a test becuase she refused to take the test. She threw a desk at him then proceeded to beat the daylights out of him. All he could do was yell for someone to get her off him. He had no authority to defend himself against her. THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

There has to be discipline in school especially if the parents are abdicating their roles as parents.
