States With Corporal Punishment In School

Would you support a policy allowing physical punishment in your school? Thirty years ago, I was a student at Henry Clay Junior High School in Los Angeles, and I have vivid memories of being told to bend over and grab my ankles while a teacher administered three blows with a paddle. When I think back I can’t remember why I was punished and the only thing it taught me was to loathe that teacher. If you live in a state where the practice is allowed, how is it working? Do you want to see the practice continue? If you live in a state where such punishment is banned, would you support its re-introduction into the classroom?
