    What does it teach the students when you punish them with corporal punishment? It teaches them that the use of force is always right. I’m all for punishment as long as it is smart punishment ( extra lessons, community service, etc. ) and only if the children are not behaving properly. You can’t punish a kid for failing an exam. If he didn’t study, it means the parents didn’t do their job, so parents should be punished. If he studied but failed, then it means the teacher didn’t get through, so the teacher should reflect on how to get through to this child.

    Punishing a child for bad grades achieves nothing. Those who have studied education know that school education is a one-size-fits-all approach to teaching; it does not allow for students who do not learn by the methods employed. It’s a well-known and documented fact that there are a number of learning models and almost everyone falls into one or more categories based loosely on four main groups, eg: audible (spoken word) , tactile (hands on) , visual (seeing it done) and written (reading about it).
    Some children, however, will never achieve good grades; this can be due to many reasons including lack of intelligence, motivation, missing out on essential core knowledge when younger or lack of self-worth and many other reasons. So rather than punish students with poor grades it would be better to try to find out why they perform badly at school and then devise ( where possible) a working remedial solution.

    Punishment is necessary to students’ performance at school. For any student at school to study well and get some definite judgments from their teachers and parents is the first step to enter the real society. Some punishment or rewards may be very necessary for the students to reach their aims at school. Competitions cannot be avoided out of campus although the bad grades just show the past experience.
    A good school may influence a student’s whole life, especially for those eager to get advanced education. Chinese usually think nothing is as important as studying. The parents and the students themselves must have more and more specific requirements for the schools they pay for a satisfying result.

    I remembered those schooldays. The headmaster would personally distribute report cards of pupils. He handed out our report cards accompanied by his magic weapon, a cane. For each subject that we failed, we got a stroke of his stinging cane. This punishment was done in full public view. Of course we feared him as a tyrant and hated him then.
    Now 30 years later, things have changed. We organized dinner and events to honor this headmaster and even started off charity funds. His old pupils hug him and thanked him for his strict discipline that guided us through our tender years. It was through his strict guidance that the school has produced pupils who triumphed to become doctors, architects, engineers, accountants and lawyers.

答案         Should Schools Be Allowed to Punish Students with Bad Grades?
    It is universally acknowledged that education serves as a ticket to one’s better future. Considering such significance of education, its core, the way of teaching is undoubtedly under miraculous public scrutiny, especially as to its disputable corporal punishment enforced by teachers on academically poor students. And I firmly convince that the punishment defies definitely the genuine purpose of education, to cultivate eligible citizens. Instead, corporal punishment can only generate dreadful consequences on the educated who suffered from cognitive hindrance, the justification of domestic abuse and fetish careerism all over the society.
    Some individuals claim that students’ performance will be enormously enhanced thanks to the deterring effect of corporal punishment, which probably results in individuals’ greater future edge in terms of wealth and social status in such a fiercely competitive world. However, others point out the groundless assumption on the positive correlation between corporal punishment and improvement of performance, since factors contributing to the academic achievement are too diversified to be simplified brutally to the only physical punishment.
    To be honest, the corporal punishment might cause many negative consequences unexpected, like implanting a corrupted seed on the students’ physical and mental development. It is manifested that teenagers having difficulties in cognitive ability mostly suffer from the trauma out of punishment at their tender years. What is worse, when the violence is justified from one’s bottom heart, in adolescent years, adults possibly have the addiction to domestic abuse with the presumption instilled at one’s younger age, that is, to hurt is to love. To a larger extent, the punishment misguides the whole public in the reverse direction. The students out of harsh punishment possibly become pious believers of the aggressive careerism with all possible means, instead of fully developing their reason and conscience, which is linked to the ability to tell what is right from wrong. The reason and conscience, two indispensable items in a requisite list for freedom which is accepted as the true purpose of education, can only be taught with love and care.         
    Finally, the teacher-student relation sets a mirror for all in the whole society, and only by love and care can eligible citizens be educated instead of abuse and punishment.
