Guest Blog: Should Spanking Be Banned?

Spanking children may seem increasingly anachronistic. But in the US and Canada – where an estimated 50 percent of Canucks still spank their kids – it’s protected under the law. It is the parents’ prerogative to physically discipline their kids.
However, Canada’s top medical journal is hoping to change that.

Guest Blog: OUR VIEW: End paddling in schools

Paddling doesn’t teach a child anything except how to use force to get your way. That’s the exact wrong message to send to our students, who should be encouraged to control their emotions and use their brains to get past challenges. Worst of all is the bizarre twist of paddling students not just for misbehavior but for bad grades. What if a student has a learning disability or simply can’t grasp a difficult subject? Paddling in public schools is simply wrong. It needs to end now, not later.
