[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 33888, member: 1967"] I didn't realize any school still used corporal punishment. Even down here in the deep south (Georgia) it was phased out twenty years ago. Of course, I live in the metro Atlanta area. It might still be being used in rural areas. Regardless, I think you have every right to tell the school that your child cannot be hit. I can't think of any problem that it would possibly solve. An interesting side note ~ it was still being used when I taught at a Florida middle school in the late 70's. I was always amazed that when the assistant principal offered a choice of a swat or detention, some students chose the corporal punishment. I never did like it being used, though, and certainly would not have given permission for it to be used on my own children. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
