Evolution Vs. Six-Day Creation

In 1977 some students of Drew Junior High filed a case with the U.S Supreme Court against corporal punishment. They stated that their 8th Amendment was violated when they were paddled, beat with brass knuckles, and hit with belts. But due to little proof the court favor the school system, Justice Lewis Powell stated that the eighth amendment didn't apply to students. But he did agree with the students that "they possessed a liberty interest in avoiding the physical force and restraint of corporal punishment, and found that this interest was adequately protected by the safeguards existing in state law." The three safeguards were: First one requires that the teacher discuss situations with the principal before inflicting corporal punishment. Second one states that the teachers could become liable for any civil damages that are unreasonable under the circumstances. And lastly, the teachers can be convicted for crime of assault and battery for physically harming students. So with the safeguard rules and regulations the teachers Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment is upheld.

Corporal punishment is commonly used to try to punish someone for doing something wrong. When a parent smacks their child on the bottom as a result from misbehaving, the child quickly learns that there will be consequences for their actions. Physical punishment should be administered to correct a behavioral problem because when you unchallenged a child's misbehaving you will never gain control at home or in school. What society fails to realize is that in order for a teacher to teach successfully she must have control over her class. And if there's a child who constantly acts out just because he has no home training then the other children are affected by it. Not all children are ADHD or even ADD, they just need guidance that their parent fail to provide.
