This is going to hurt you more than it hurts me


  • I'm guessing that your personal experiences tell you corporal punishment works
    • you may have experinced it yourself and know it cause you to moderate your behavior
    • you may have been involved with its administration and seen it effect
    I'm also guessing your personal experiences tell you that the negative effects of corporal punishment are short-lived or non-existent This is consistent with the reports I have been sharing with you
    • Not everybody who is spanked experience negative effects You cannot tell who will experience the negative effect until well after corporal punishment has been administered
    instinctually know it's wrong to hit people
    • nobody takes pleasure in spanking, i hope
    • you do it because its better than the alternative - people without self-discipline
    there is a lot of evidence that there are alternatives to corporal punishment that have all of the benefits but none of the risks Again, we call on the Leeds City Schools to remove it's policy allowing corporal punishment
