Corporal punishments on US schools
Reported corporal punishments on US schools.
It seems to happen to around 250.000 children at US schools every year.
"Human Rights Watch" and the "American Civil Liberties Union" say that this mainly happens in the Southern States (C.P. is allowed in 21 States).
In Europe and in some 100 other countries worldwide corporal punishment is a no-no.
And worse for the USA : there also seems to be a relation with race : black children are punished much more often than white children.
Although parents can sign a form indicating that they do not approve corporal punishment, this does not seem to have much effect...
Isn't it time to send development workers to the Southern States to educate there, and raise the levels of ethical and moral thinking??
:rolleyes:
