The use of corporal punishment (physically hitting students) in schools is in decline, yet it should be used to improve behaviour. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Recently the use of corporal
punishment
in schools has been decreasing, nowadays it is almost non
existant
having existence or being or actuality
existent
, I believe that it should be completely banned. In the past the go to
punishment
was always physical, the phrase "beat out of him' comes to mind. Physical
punishment
has severe consequences both physical and psychological on children.
In addition
, research shows that people who have a background of abuse, and I consider physical
punishment
as abuse, are more likely to commit crime, abuse others, and have a psychological issues in the future, which defeats the purpose of correcting
behaviour
. Bad
behaviour
is usually just a call for attention, providing that attention, and channeling pupils' energies in more constructive ways
such
as sports, arts and debates.
Nevertheless
, there has to be a method of punishing bad
behaviour
, it is my opinion, that modern methods which include, removal of
privlidges
a special advantage or immunity or benefit not enjoyed by all
privileges
, detention, and community service work best. In conclusion, while corporal
punishment
does achieve some results,
newer safer
Accept comma addition
newer, safer
ways of punishing students are more capable of correcting bad
behaviour
.
