问题     Corporal punishment was once regarded as an effective way to discipline kids in schools. However, over the past decade, parents and some education experts voiced their concerns about this "brutal" method at schools. What is your opinion? Should we allow teachers to apply corporal punishment to discipline children? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.

答案                     No Corporal Punishment Is Allowed
    Every year in China, dozens of kids are severely hurt by corporal punishment, ranging from damaged hearing ability to bruised chest. When interviewed, these children all show immense horror and fear. These distorted images speak loudly, though not in those children’s own voice, that we should not allow teachers to apply corporal punishment.
    On the one hand, corporal punishment would crush kids’ delicate mentality and leave a lasting effect on their mental health. According to the psychology, if kids are exposed to brutality in their youth, they might grow up into two possibilities—too submissive or too rebellious. In the first case, kids are physically hurt and mentally damaged. They would be fearful of further punishment, so they listen to the "orders" from teachers and dare not threaten their authorities. They become "obedient" students, with their courage and confidence having been ruined once and for all. In the second case, children are subject to the belief that "whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger". That is why they put on more self-abandoned acts to annoy their teachers, who will beat them harder and only to make them naughtier students. In either case, young students are not healthy any more. Teachers might quickly fix their disobedient students by means of corporal punishment, but at the same time they have caused an eternal harm to their mentality.
    On the other hand, if we ban teachers from applying corporal punishment, they will be encouraged to come up with better ways to discipline kids. Take German’s experience for example. It is illegal for teachers and parents to beat a child in Germany, no matter for what reason. When teachers want to "control" or correct students’ behaviors, they would choose many other ways, such as extra assignments, school services, community services and so on. Punishments of these kinds do not involve physical violence or psychological damage. The effect of these punishments might not be as instant as that of corporal punishment, but one thing is for sure: students understand that they have done wrong and that they are being punished, without the risk of leaving a scar in their body and mind.
    In conclusion, no corporal punishment is allowed. Resorting to corporal punishment is a short-sighted solution, which would cause permanent harm to kids. Teachers should rely on other means to discipline misbehaving children.
