NY Times article entitled "Disabled Students More Likely to be Spanked in School." The article reports on a survey that reveals that of the children who are spanked in school, a disproportionate number are those with disabilities. Ohio's governor just signed a ban against corporal punishment in schools but in other states it is still legal. Why do you think this is? How effective is spanking in children? What are other ways to effectively discipline children within the school system?
