Corporal Punishment Is Widespread

Whether you like it or not, corporal punishment teaches children discipline.  All over the world, governments support corporal punishment.  It's widely acceptable in Europe, the West Indies, India, ect.  The US almost completely banned it in 2003. However, there are eight studies that show since corporal punishment was banned in public schools, there has been a rapid increase in school violence.

Why I agree with Corporal Punishment

Because it is supported heavily in the Bible. For example: Proverbs 22:14 states: "Tho shall beat him with the rod and shalt his soul from hell." Proverbs 22:15 states: " Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him." and Proverbs 23:13-14 states: " Spare the rod spoil the child."
