Is Corporal Punishment necessary ? – A Short Essay
There are mixed views on using the Corporal Punishment. Some say that this is the uncivilized attitude, violation of human rights. Resorting to physical punishment causes phobia among the young students of the schools and they start hating this temple of learning.
On the other hand there are people who say if there is no fear in the mind of the students, they will become impudent and indiscipline and at growing up they may become a nuisance to the society. So this physical punishment is necessary for the teachers to adopt.
There is also a third category which believes that the corporal punishment to a bit extent is necessary. They think that there should be the balance between the punishment and non-punishment.
Our views –
However, we believe that there should be a light punishment for the students that may create some fear among the students. In this way they may be able to learn good habits like discipline and obedience etc. But the punishment must be light and symbolic such as mild rebuking and the one resembling light exercises.
