Assignment Due Wednesday, February 20

Discuss your views on corporal punishment. Remember to include your opinion early and clearly. And back it up with research. Ideas for topics include (but are not limited to): whether it should be allowed in schools, whether there should be a difference between public and private schools, whether parents should be allowed to use corporal punishment to discipline their own children or anyone else's, in public or in private, whether it is an effective form of discipline, whether it is a form of abuse, how widespread it is, if it's becoming more or less popular, whether it's more widespread in the south, and its correlation with religious beliefs.
