Isn't corporal punishment still accepted in about 50% of US states? Meaning that spankings are still used in schools as punishment?
I have a friend who just moved back here from Tennessee and is a teacher. She said that the kids in TN lived in fear of being spanked and we're pretty well behaved. Kids here in the north are much more unruly in the classroom and she attributes it to that.
Spankings don't work as a threat to my three year old. She likes 'em, just like her mom.
