Top Ten Reasons Why Corporal Punishment in Schools Should Be Banned Everywhere

I read about this in school so that article gave me inspiration for this list.
The Top Ten
1 It's hypocritical

All of these reasons are good reasons to ban it. I read a story in English class where corporal punishment towards a kindergarten student was mentioned constantly. They even mention that he was spanked in front of the class. Apparently all teachers from the beginning of school to 1980's all hated children and beat them for making honest mistakes. I read a book about Egyptian History and it mentioned that students would be beaten if they got an answer wrong. That is wrong on so many levels. If I see a teacher spank or perform corporal punishment on a student, that teacher is getting instant karma.

Lemme ask you a question. Do you think you deserve to be hit with a paddle for not doing homework? If the answer is no then don't do it to other children for the same reason.

True.Sometimes kids do deserve to be beat(I've had it before) but not doing homework isn't one of them.

2 It's child abuse

You hurt the child more by not punishing them.

3 You're beating someone else's kid

Well it depends on how bad the child's actions were.

4 Bad influence on children

This sets a bad example on the children because it makes them think violence is the answer.

5 It makes all teachers look bad
6 It makes children scared to go to school

If I was gonna get beat every time I didn't do my hw I'd be hella scared

I skipped 2nd grade because of this.

7 Children can become abusers due to this

Either that or the child becomes too scared to abuse anyone or do anything because he/she knows someone will beat them if they even attempt to do the slightest thing.

8 It leads to depression

If it's non stop beating everyday it can lead to depression and suicide.

9 It's physical assault

If an adult was doing it to another adult and you'd get arrested.

10 Causes injuries and harm

In the article I read a girl came home with bruises and couldn't walk the same for a week.

The Contenders
11 It could possibly cause a risk for a future school shooting

Imagine being a potential school shooter and you get hit with a paddle every day

12 It could lead to suicide
13 It psychologically affects children

They get so traumatized that they have had to be put in meds, go to therapy, they try to avoid school, they cried more often, etc...

14 It warps the mind of the kids getting the punishment
15 It can hurt
