Corporal Punishment

There are 20 states that still allow corporal punishment in schools. Click the link for the New York Times article http://bit.ly/NAKlJ I grew up in one of those states, and luckily live in a state that doesn't allow this practice. One would think that special ed students would be exempt from this form of punishment, but that would make too much sense. I hoped in 2009 that most states had moved away from this and it would be an interesting, antiquated story from my childhood. Unfortunately, more people will be able to share stories of paddlings for years to come.
