Should We Allow Spanking In Schools? 19 States Allow It, Would You? [POLL}
I just got this week's Time Magazine, and I couldn't believe what I was reading. 19 states allow spanking and paddling to this day for misbehavior. (New York doesn't). But would you support it? Take our pollThe article states that the US Congress is taking a look at this and contemplating putting a stop to it, although I thought that those kind of rulings go by state. Who knows! But although experts are fighting it out as to it's effectiveness, right now as I said, 19 states use the tried and true technique.
It's an issue that has been talked about for years. Here's a report on in from CBS News done in 2008
So let's get to the bottom of this (groaner). Would you allow a principal or teacher to spank your kid? Take our poll. Thanks in advance.
