Smacking Children is best form of discipline. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#children #form #discipline
While some would argue that physical punishment is the most effective means to discipline a
child
, I do not agree with
this
 statement as it translates to physical
abuse
.
To begin
, smacking children is the best deterrent from

 as proposed by some persons.
However
, I do not concur with their point of view. They are of the opinion that it helps a
child
 differentiate between good and bad behaviours, as he or she is been spanked for doing the wrong thing and praised for good acts.
For example
, in the typical Igbo culture here in Nigeria, physical punishment is the primary tool used to discipline an erring
child
. In a bid to avoid being beaten, these children would avoid these unpleasant acts, and so
this
 forms the basis why some individuals would say that
this
 is the best way to train them.
In contrast
, physical punishment perpetuates a cycle of
abuse
.
That is
 to say that, when these children who are been physically

many generations.
For example
, an average Nigerian has been smacked by his parents and has passed down that same training to their younger ones, thereby transmitting a chain of physical
abuse
. Because
this
 causes a chain of maltreatment, I do not agree that it is the best way to call an erring
child
 to order. In conclusion,
although
 many are of the suggestion that beating a
child
 is the best way to train them ,I totally do not agree with
this
 claim as it spreads a chain of physical
abuse
 across generations.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
