In most cases, a person’s opinion or idea of a non-custodial mother is far from the truth. If you were to ask non-custodial mothers why they lost custody, you would […]

Do you think schools should spank?

Posted by familycourtreform06 on August 20, 2008

Human Rights Watch says hundreds of thousands of children, some as young as 3 years old, are receiving corporal punishment in U.S. schools.

The international organization and the American Civil Liberties Union released a report Wednesday criticizing the practice, which is legal in 21 states, says CNN.

Corporal punishment discourages learning, fails to deter future misbehavior and at times even provokes it, says report author Alice Farmer.

One case detailed by the two groups involves a 3-year-old boy enrolled in a pre-kindergarten program at a rural Texas school. The boy went home one day with bruises on his hips and stomach from a paddling he received for taking off his shoes during class and playing with an air conditioner.

U.S. Department of Education statistics indicate corporal punishment is disproportionately applied to African-American students. In 13 states African-American girls were paddled at twice the rate of their white counterparts.
