Compare and contrast...

(And before anyone says that Corporal Punishment doesn't involve physical damage, I'd point out it's a matter of *scale* and *attitude* not details)

Also compare and contrast with the Police Brutality thread.
As adults we do not expect to be beaten up by a cop so we should certainly not expect our children (who have often yet to learn common sense etc) to be beaten up by their teachers. Trying to beat common sense and respect into children in schools has never worked and never will.
