Thanks for sharing. I happen to live in a state where spanking is legal at home, at school and at daycare.
I would never use corporal punishment on a child in my care and I can't believe the law would allow me to but it sure does!Comment

does anyone have a link to the study itself? I am curious about how they actually conducted it.
(I absolutely agree with them! I'm just a nerd
)
Hee hee! Look, I have a signature!Comment

Here is the link to the CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) that published the article. http://www.cmaj.ca/content/161/7/805.full
It has a bit more in-depth info than the news article.Comment

What I find interesting is the way they detrimined that the children where spanked or not, they asked them. So what does that say about the children that where spanked when younger but do not remember. I have one of those. My youngest has not been spanked since about age 3 or 4 and does not remember any of it. I wonder if that makes a differnence.Comment

I have started and stopped so many times in reply to this article.
I don't agree with it and think it's a bunch of hog wash. ::
That said, there's a big difference between a swat on the behind and a downright butt beating.
In my generation's day we were all given a swat when we didn't behave, we were taught to respect our elders and while there was the occasional wild child in school, it wasn't like the children of today.
When I first started working in a Daycare my eyes were opened big time.
Just my (not so humble) opinion.Comment

Legal?! For real? Is it commonly practiced? I would go ape $@*% if someone spanked my child at school!

20 States Allow it:
I feel it's strictly a parent's decision. Although Catholic schools have been smacking rulers on knuckles for years. Not sure if they still do it or not.Comment

You must have not gone to school when this was commonly practised. I was in school in the 80's-Junior High and High school and received a swat one time in science for chewing gum. My one and only!!! The teachers, Principal and parents back then all meant business. When you where told to do something it better have been done. This was public school also.
Can you imagine what would happen today if the kids would be swatted for using cell phones in school! I bet when a teacher would say no cell phones it would actually be inforced!Each day is a fresh start

It is NOT legal in WI, and I would be pissed if someone spanked my child (although I have, on occasion, when they were little).
When I was in 8th grade, we had a science teacher that was ex-marine. He kept a tight reign on his classroom. There was a paddle hanging on the wall, although it was not legal to use it.
One day, we were watching a film strip (remember those?) and he was called out of the room for a family emergency phone call. We were told to sit tight and watch the movie. DONT MOVE!
When he came back a few minutes later, Frick and Frack (the class clowns), had decided to randomly mix chemicals in the back of the classroom.
Mr. Teacher walked in, saw what they were doing, and before we could blink, had that paddle off the wall, and paddled both their butts right in front of the whole class!
Oddly enough, it was NEVER brought up again, and I am pretty darn certain those boys did not tell their parents about it. Had they told WHY, I'm pretty sure the parents would have backed the teacher, if not given them another paddling at home!::
Like, I said, I would be pissed if a teacher hit MY child, unless they did something like that, and then I would be more shocked at my child's behavior than at the teacher's reaction.Comment

well I am 34 yrs old and I got spanked when I was little. Im pretty sure I deserved it too.
And i didnt turn out to be horrible child. I was actually a pretty good kid that never felt the need to make my mom mad.
I never snuck out, skipped school, all that stuff.
When my own kids were younger (minus my Stepson) they got wacked on their butt too. They know to be respectfull.
My stepson on the other hand has called cps on me 7 times for sending him to his room.
He even threatened to call cps to my face, and I said let me dial it for ya, and while your talking i'll pack a bag for ya too.
He was the most horrid child I have ever had to deal with. why? because his mother let him get away with everything.
He is now living with her full time and she can deal with the mess she created.
my point is, i will never spank someone elses child.
My own kids are not abused, and they are very respectfull.Comment

Today kid's are encouraged to chew gum. It helps with concentration on testing and focusing. I read somewhere that kids that were allowed to chew gum during testing scored higher then those that did not.
I am against abuse, and think spanking is personal between the parents. I will say there is a big difference between a swat and beating a child. I also think there is a time and a place for it. I think there is a big lack of respect issue in our generation of children, and a gimme gimme world. I think to many children are allowed to be adults before they are potty trained-
Common sense issue- but because so many don't have common sense these days, its easier to protect the idiots-Comment
