OPEN LETTER TO EDUCATORS
Dear Educator:
Until recently, the practice of corporal punishment of schoolchildren -- commonly known as
"paddling" -- has been sentimentalized and trivialized, its dangers glossed over or denied.
Now, as more states and more school districts abandon the practice and as a growing
number of parents and other primary caretakers opt for more effective, more humane and
less destructive methods of socializing children, the defenders of corporal punishment find
themselves diminishing in number and increasingly isolated.
