Some teachers resort to corporal punishment in schools. They do it to maintain discipline in the classroom. But physical punishment has a negative impact on the mind of the pupils. It leaves a lasting impression on the students' and influences their future conduct. So, it can have a short-term result but it has long term negative effects. That is why, corporal punishment is banned in many countries. In our country, corporal punishment exists in different forms. In the past, the teachers believed in the saying, -- "spare the rod and spoil the child." But these days such mindset is deplorable. We hope the teachers would shun the practice of giving corporal punishment.
