Corporal Punishment

I have seen recently on Television a teacher who punished a child for stealing , that has declared war with that child and I wondered whether he would the samething if it was his own child , he was killing her. The poor child had stolen something , all children are naught by the way and when I looked at the age group of the teacher , he was a matured man. He should have beeen  aware at that age that children do stupid things , and one must not declared war with them instead one must just guide them becuase if they are to practice that  in thieir life , they may one day end up in jail.The behaviour of that teacher also reminded me about a documentary that I one day saw on TV which stated that there is a lot of people who entered jail for minor crimes, such as  stealing a loaf of bread .The system in jail is not about behavioural change in the form teaching inmates , it is  about corporal punishment which instead did not change their behoiur instead it groomed  young people to be the biggest jail birds and what was demostrated by that teachers was just grooming that child to be a criminal. The punishement that must be given to him is that, he must never practice his profession as a teachers, criminal charges by the parents must be laid against him.

  1. Corporal punishment in South Africa has been banned for many years , yet it is still being practiced by individuals. I agree these individuals should be harshly dealt with. Improved language structure of blog content will assist with easy reading and understanding.
