Topic : Corporal punishment in public school should be banned.
Before introduced the student human rights ordinance, there has been debatable whether corporal punishment in public school should be banned or not. Many of the people have insisted that it has been ignored the students' right, and accommodated this opinion, the government got the bill through congress. But on the other side of the coin, I think that the students need some corporal punishment. For one, the ban on corporal punishment can rather infringe the teacher's human rights. In addition, it is apt to keep a loose rein on students.
To begin with, the ban on physical punishment came undercut the teacher's authority. The students gradually lose confidence and respective to their teachers. The video of sexually harassed female teacher which recently controverted well showed us that teachers' authority has been dragged through the mud. KFTA (the Korean Federation of Teachers' Association) opposed that it gives emotional release to students while providing some helplessness to teachers. They exampled the case that students assault their teacher mount up more than 4000 for the past five years in Wales, England which have banned the corporal punishment 12 years ago. And they also warned that we will follow the collapse of the class in Wales if we keep on the ban on it. This well reported the concern of the serious side effect of the physical punishment have been on the increase before the education policy comes to settle in.
It is also true that the ban on corporal punishment tends to keep a slack rein on students. Without the punishment, teacher should just reason or caution to students. But recently, as appears by many of students' violent rages, they are more aggressive and impatient than past so they haven't shown the slightest bit of remorse when they made some problems and in more serious case, they offer violence to their teachers. Now teachers cannot bear the students' actions. So some of them decide to neglect a few of refractory students. This bring about the matter of education that teachers teach their students more carelessly. Is this a teacher's duty? The neglection can cause bad influence more than the punishment. I think the educational punishment can guide juvenile delinquents back into the right path rather than neglecting them.
In conclusion, I disagree with the statement that the corporal punishment in public school should be banned. However, instead of the teacher who habitually exerts 'the violence' to strike fear into the students, we want someone who punish student with the so-called 'rod of love', dealing with students like their own sons and daughters. I strongly suggest that our students need more and more teachers who sincerely respectable as someone who has already been through it all.
