There is a wide range of punishments that have been used in schools throughout the ages. Catholic nuns use rulers to hit the knuckles of their students. Teachers in one-room schoolhouses would take a stick to the behinds of children in the early 1900s. Dozens of kids wrote hundreds of lines in English grammar schools. There’s time-out, detention, suspension, expulsion. Psychologists have been studying for years the effect of punishment on both behavior and the developing psyches of kids. Different findings are published and people continue to debate. So here’s my question for you.
How harsh should punishments within the educational setting be?
