Drawbacks of Physical Punishment
Captions available
The idea
Physical punishment carries real costs: children may come to fear the punisher, avoid school, and show more aggression and antisocial behavior.
In practice
Fear of the punisher can spread into avoiding the classroom and school itself.
Where people slip
Punishment can stop a behavior without teaching the alternative behavior that should replace it.
