[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 439808, member: 1233"] This article reviews France's stand on corporal punishment: [URL]http://www.endcorporalpunishment.org/progress/country-reports/france.html[/URL] This is a part of that article regarding the current legality of corporal punishment: Ministerial circulars state that corporal punishment should not be used in schools (Circular No. 91-124 of 6 June 1991 regarding primary schools and Circular No. 2000-105 of 11 July 2000 for secondary schools) but there is no explicit prohibition in law and 'light correction' is tolerated in the same way as it is for parents. A High Court ruling in 1889 allowed a 'right to correction' for teachers; a ruling in 2000 stated that this did not apply to habitual and 'non-educational' corporal punishment. It seems to me that hitting him on the head or on the ear is habitual for this teacher and sure doesn't seem educational. But I don't live in France, speak the language or understand their culture very well. So that is with my own personal bias. I do think that hitting a 4yo at school should be at least as against the law as hitting a prisoner. [/QUOTE]
