Corporal Punishment

Punishment start to students at schools and also at homes by parents and others, useing of abusive language, lack of interest in study or homework, quarrels and adults’ frustrations leading to corporal punishment. The volume of corporal punishment in schools and at homes was found to be identical. The situation regarding corporal punishment, both at private and public schools, was the same.

Education is communication tool. When school communicate effectively, students understand and support what the school is doing, and the process of teaching and learning moves forward and educators can have as much trouble communicating clearly.

Many times have students in a school misunderstood directions or left class with no clear idea of the next day’s assignment and many kids are confused about exactly what behavior is expected, preferred, accepted, allowed, or valued in your school?

Types of punishments: Smacking, spanking, kicking, throwing, pinching, pulling hair, twisting arms or ears, forcing the child to stay in uncomfortable or undignified position, forcing the child to take excessive exercise, burning, giving electric shock and hitting them with different objects such as cane, belt, whip, shoe, broom and electric wire.

This course introduces students to the skill of thinking sociologically and the skill of testing sociological ideas through empirical research. But, throughout this course, we will also apply a critical perspective.
