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?

Although

the practice of penalizing

students

physically is reduced

but

Remove the conjunction

it is said that it should be used to discipline them. I disagree with

this

, as it is not in line with human rights and hitting

students

could cause long-term side effects on their mental health.

Firstly

, in schools it is the responsibility of the teachers to bring out the best in their

students

and beating them might cause them to become less attentive and bunk the

school

at times. There are different choices to bring discipline to

school

-going

children

like making them understand their bad conduct and motivating them to concentrate on their studies.

For instance

, when

children

behave in a notorious manner in a lecture rather than punishing them, they should be given a responsibility where their notoriousness can be employed.

Furthermore

, in situations where

children

are being physically abused, it may have a negative impact on their psychological health as they are in the developing stage. In

such

cases, younger ones may have traumatic responses where they could face nightmares or can take extreme steps of mass shootings on

school

premises. An example of

this

is of a country where a student was hit by his educator and was bullied by his fellow classmates, in response to

this

incident he used a rifle for firing in

school

which led to the death of 25

children

. In conclusion,

students

enrol in

school

for getting educated and to have a prosperous future but corporal punishments can cause them to divert from their studies and take unwarranted decisions. So, it is necessary, to employ different methods to discipline the

students

and make them increase their involvement in education.
