I was spanked (or smacked as its called over here) when I was younger and it never did me any harm, in fact because of it I learned quickly what was the right and the wrong ways to behave.. and I knew what would happen if I acted in the wrong way.
I dont believe in teachers spanking a child, only because they shouldnt HAVE to!
It is a parents responsibility to teach that child how to behave at home AND at school and it shouldnt be left to the teacher.
