Corporal Punishment is necessary or
compulsory?
Much of the discussion of corporal punishment is based on
preconceived notions that this technique is either absolutely essential or
intrinsically evil. This will take the position that there are both advantages
and disadvantages to corporal punishment. In this documentation it has
identified and discusses these strengths and weakness and encourages readers to
use this analysis to make their own decisions regarding the use or non use of
corporal punishment as a disciplinary technique. And how these corporal punishments
encourage students to participate or enroll in the school.
Corporal or physical punishment is critical subject to be
delt. Many theorist are in both sides, some say it is a disciplinary techniques
some says it hamper the involvement of the students in the class and affect the
psychological and mental aspects of the students. Parents' views refer to the
feelings or attitude towards physical punishment to their children. Corporal punishments
still exist or still in practice in some of the schools mostly in the community
and government based schools. And this has direct and indirect effect on
children either in their interest or willingness of attaining school or
hindrance on their performance. The National Policy of Education 2076 talks
that the school must provide free and enjoyable environment within or outside
the school in order to make involvement of all level of the students or all
categories of the children. Similarly, this provision has talked about the
right to education to all children upto basic level this means their right
should not be hinder by any sorts of violence inside the classroom where they
can feel freedom and entertaining while learning means they should not have
fear inside the classroom. In the child-friendly schools, these issues are
addressed. If the child-friendly environment exists in the school, children can
learn quickly and they will have less mental stress while reading and writing.
In addition, the parents preconceived this notion as the technique either
absolutely essential or intrinsically evil. Likewise, the National Framework of
child-friendly school has proclaimed that the corporal or any physical
punishment in the school is prohibited and we must respect all the students
equally. In contrast, we can still see some of the schools practicing such
punishment in the school in order to maintain discipline and to enhance quality
education. And some parents seem against it whereas some favor this practice.
Therefore, I want to carry out the research whether the parents want the physical
punishment in the school or not if so how these all provision supports them
directly or indirectly. Corporal report 2010 has listed many consequences of
corporal punishment in the school among them one of the best examples is
psychological disorder in the children. As report shows that many children
dropped the school at their early age because they were afraid of their
teachers especially with those teachers who punished them physically. This had
made negative impact on the enrollment and the participation in the classroom a
lot.
