Ban of physical punishment in school.

  On Monday morning, Jung-min Lee and Jae-won Jung presented about ban of physical punishment in school. In recent, the Korean government published the law. The law is that ban of physical punishment in elementary, middle and high schools. This law causes many problems in education place and bad behavior of students. These problems are very amazing and dumbfounded our mind. Therefore, my opinion of ban of physical punishment in school is opposite.

  First, teacher’s authority may fall down. If physical punishment is perfectly removed, students will not respect their teachers and be bold. Then classroom will lose academic atmosphere and students who want to study hard may be damaged in learning class. Also, teachers do not control their students so relationship of teachers and students is collapsed.

  Second, other punishments (for example thinking chair or letter of apology and so on) are ineffective. I think if students do not feel physical afraid, rebellion and impudence will increase. Therefore, as you know, many students make impolite behaviors and crazy joke to teachers. It doesn’t make sense. In addition, because students do not feel sense of guilty by themselves, other punishments (for example thinking chair or letter of apology and so on) just become play.

  An announcement of the Korean government about ban of physical punishment in school is like a fish out of water. The Korean government should reconsider the law or adduce other punishments which replace physical punishment.

  2. Yes. But thinking chair can't have effect. i think we should try to find other ways of punishment except physical punishment. We can refer to America's education system.
