    In the "Old Days", corporal punishment was justifiable, because the
children were expected to act like little grown ups. The children had to
walk in straight lines down the halls, use proper table manners, et cetra,
in order to avoid being beaten. Grown ups had little respect for the
children, making them do slave labor at home, and display best behavior in
school. When looking back, I can see why corporal punishment was allowed to
be used.

    The year is 1991, the students are all rebels without a cause... If
corporal punishment was used today, it would fail. Kids no longer are
expected to act like they are in church for their complete childhood. If a
child is caught talking in class, the teacher does not whip or beat them
like years ago, instead: writing the childs name on the board, or giving
them detention does the job. Strange enough, most of the children in Jr.
High and High School are larger than the teacher, and one would think that
the teacher would be injured gravely if the child was threatened with
bodily harm. Sure, I would like to see some of the little trouble makers
get hit with a stick or whip when they are naughty, but in America today,
this will never work!

    In my short composition, I believe that I have shown some evidence
suggesting that corporal punishment would not work in America during this
point in time. Lawsuits, and hospital stays come to mind immediatly. I
think that the government will agree with me when they vote whether or not
to reinstate corporal punishment.
