Although it is generally illegal, physical punishment continues in many countries. Some argue that parents should have the right to punish their children in this way.

Do you agree or disagree?

Some traditional parents argue that they should be allowed to punish their children physically. I am in strong disagreement with this contention despite the legitimacy of parental rights.

Those in favor of parents being permitted to punish their children physically point out this is an historically ingrained privilege. For thousands of years, parents have had the ability to raise their children according to their own beliefs and values. This includes choices related to culture, religion, diet, and lifestyle. Physical punishment can be theoretically added to this list as it has a massive impact on a child’s psychology and future identity. The support for this practice is that many successful individuals have anecdotally expressed gratitude to parents who hit them when they were younger, believing that it instilled a sense of discipline in them.

However, research has shown that the positive impact in select cases of corporal punishment is greatly outweighed by emotional and psychological abuse. The vast majority of children who were physically abused develop either temporary or lasting side-effects. The most common one is that children are not as confident and willing to express themselves because they consistently fear punishment from a loved one. As they get older, this can become a barrier both for interpersonal relationships and their public persona. Many children who have only learned discipline through physical punishment end up hitting their own children and this can create an ongoing cycle of abuse.

In conclusion, although parents should have the right to raise their children as they see fit, this prerogative must be limited in the case of physical abuse. In most nations, there are already laws banning corporal punishment.

it should be a  historically ingrained privilege . not an  historically ingrained privilege . thank you for your great work

That’s a bit of a tricky one because it depends if the ‘h’ is pronounced or not – and because of the combo of the words there you wouldn’t normally pronounce the ‘h’ so that’s why I left the ‘n’ off – not 100% sure if it’s technically right though!

Why write about both sides when the question clearly asks either this or that?

Always best to write about both sides, Gaurav!

It is neither “both views”, nor “to what extent” type of essay. So isn’t it a mistake to provide two views when you are only asked to give a single opinion? Gaurav has a point imho/

The phrasing of the question isn’t that important – the best strategy is always to write about both sides in my experience, Yerzat.

Sample Band 9 Essay

Punishing children with physical force, or corporal punishment as it is also called, is something that was accepted not so long ago and people over the age of forty may well remember it. Nowadays, however, corporal punishment is against the law in most countries and adults who practise it can be taken to court. Children are always a vulnerable group and they depend on adults for protection and education. Of course, part of the growing up process is testing and breaking boundaries and it is nearly always necessary to instill discipline on a child. Whether or not it is necessary to use physical force to do so can be a very emotive subject.

Supporters of corporal punishment often defend their standpoint by explaining that the corporal punishment is not, or should not be, excessive. They do not argue that a child should be beaten severely until he or she is bruised or cut. They argue that just the infliction of mild pain causes effective discipline and also the fear that it might be applied. People who grew up experiencing it might offer this point of view.

Those who oppose using physical force on a child would say that the vulnerability and innocence of a child means that force should never be used. Children need to trust adults and believe that no harm will come to them. Additionally, children learn from adults and it is argued that corporal punishment will only teach children that force is an answer to various problems. It is also claimed that corporal punishment has no added benefits over other forms of discipline that do not require physical force. Using it can cause psychological harm to children and should be classed as child abuse.

Personally, I do not believe that limited use of forms of corporal punishment can cause harm, and a parent who administers a mild form of it to his or her child should not be subject to criminal proceedings. Nevertheless, I would not use it myself. I can also recognise the possibilities of adults who are not a child’s parents misusing corporal punishment. Therefore, I believe that on balance physical force to discipline children should not be permitted.

Understanding the Issue: Corporal Punishment in Schools

The topic of corporal punishment in schools is a contentious one, often appearing in IELTS Speaking tests, particularly Part 3 discussions. As experienced IELTS instructors, it’s crucial to equip ourselves and our students with the knowledge and vocabulary to tackle this complex issue.

What is Corporal Punishment?

Corporal punishment refers to physical punishment, typically involving inflicting pain on a student for misbehavior. This can range from spanking to hitting with an object. While once commonplace, many countries have outlawed this practice, sparking ongoing debate about its place in education.

IELTS Speaking: Discussing Corporal Punishment

Let’s explore how this topic might appear in your IELTS Speaking exam:

Part 1: You might be asked general questions about discipline, childhood experiences, or education styles.

• “How were children disciplined in your school?”
• “What do you think is the best way to teach children right from wrong?”

Part 2: The topic card could ask you to describe a teacher’s disciplinary methods or your opinion on different approaches to discipline.

• When and where it happened
• What you did
• How you felt about it
• And explain what impact this experience had on you.”

Part 3: This section will delve into more abstract ideas related to corporal punishment.

• “What are the arguments for and against corporal punishment in schools?”
• “Do you think children who are physically punished are more likely to become aggressive themselves?”
• “How can schools find alternative ways to discipline students effectively?”

Vocabulary for Discussing Corporal Punishment

Mastering relevant vocabulary is key to scoring high on your IELTS Speaking test. Here are some essential terms:

• Corporal Punishment: Physical punishment
• Discipline: Training that corrects, molds, or perfects behavior
• Punishment: The infliction of a penalty for an offense
• Alternative methods: Other ways to achieve a goal
• Child development: The physical, emotional, and cognitive growth of a child
• Psychological effects: The impact on a person’s mental and emotional state
• Human rights: Basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled
• Positive reinforcement: Rewarding desired behavior
• Consequences: The results or effects of an action

Tips for Success

• Formulate your opinion: IELTS is not about right or wrong answers, but rather your ability to express your viewpoint clearly. Decide where you stand on the use of corporal punishment and be prepared to justify your stance.
• Use evidence and examples: Support your points with relevant examples or arguments. This could include your personal experiences, historical events, or societal changes.
• Consider different perspectives: Even if you have a strong opinion, acknowledge the opposing viewpoint. This demonstrates critical thinking skills, which are highly valued in the IELTS.
• Practice makes perfect: The key to acing the IELTS Speaking test is practice! Engage in mock interviews with a friend or tutor, and record yourself to analyze your performance.

Discussing corporal punishment can be challenging, but with thorough preparation and a nuanced understanding of the issue, you can confidently articulate your viewpoint in the IELTS Speaking test. Remember to use appropriate vocabulary, provide clear examples, and demonstrate your ability to think critically and engage in a balanced discussion.

Corporal Punishment In Schools Ielts Essay

Corporal punishment in schools has ignited impassioned debates and discussions in recent times. As a contentious issue, it warrants an exploration of its various viewpoints. This essay aims to provide a comprehensive and impartial analysis of corporal punishment in schools, keeping in mind the context of the IELTS exam.

Table of Contents

Essay On Corporal Punishment in Schools – A Balanced Examination

Arguments supporting corporal punishment:.

The proponents of corporal punishment assert its effectiveness as a disciplinary tool. Advocates contend that physical punishment serves as a deterrent against misbehavior and fosters obedience. They suggest that a swift and tangible consequence can lead to immediate behavioral correction. For instance, traditionalists argue that a measured spanking can leave a lasting impression on a student’s memory, discouraging repeated infractions.

Arguments Against Corporal Punishment

Conversely, opponents of corporal punishment emphasize the potential psychological and emotional toll it can take on students. Critics posit that subjecting children to physical pain could erode their self-esteem and create an atmosphere of fear. They advocate for alternative methods, such as positive reinforcement and counseling, which they believe are more conducive to nurturing a supportive learning environment. Studies have shown that these alternatives promote a sense of responsibility and respect among students.

The Consequences of Corporal Punishment

The physical consequences of corporal punishment cannot be overlooked. Instances of excessive force or unintended injuries raise concerns about students’ safety. Beyond the physical aspect, there is a risk of perpetuating a cycle of aggression. Students subjected to corporal punishment might internalize violent behavior as a means of conflict resolution. Furthermore, the psychological impact of humiliation and pain could lead to long-term negative effects, hindering academic performance and emotional well-being.

Alternative Disciplinary Approaches

In light of the criticism surrounding corporal punishment, educators are exploring alternative disciplinary approaches. Positive reinforcement, for instance, involves rewarding desirable behavior to encourage its repetition. Restorative justice, on the other hand, fosters accountability by having students reflect on their actions and make amends. Counseling provides a platform for addressing underlying issues that contribute to misbehavior. These approaches prioritize holistic development and create a helping environment where students learn from their mistakes.

In conclusion, the discourse surrounding corporal punishment in schools demands careful consideration of its merits and demerits. While supporters uphold its potential to instill discipline, opponents caution against its detrimental consequences. Personally, I align with the stance against corporal punishment. Alternative disciplinary approaches seem more conducive to nurturing a safe and encouraging learning environment. Through positive reinforcement, restorative justice, and counseling, we can guide students toward responsible behavior and emotional growth.

The use of corporal punishment (physically hitting students) in schools is in decline, yet it should be used to improve behavior. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Opinion essay

Introduction

Sentence 1: introduction of the topic

Sentence 2 to 6: Objections to the essay’s idea and discussion points.

Body Paragraph

Paragraph 1: Being beaten in front of classmates can also be insulting for some students, which may cause them to avoid school altogether.

Paragraph 1: Physical punishment in childhood has been associated with aggressive or delinquent behavior in later life.

Summarize your thoughts and express your final opinion.

Education institutions no longer use corporal punishment, but some believe that it helped to improve behaviour. I totally disagree with this view. Teachers have a number of responsibilities and are in an authoritative position. It is not uncommon for them to misuse this position by hitting students physically to punish them for doing anything wrong. Nowadays, parents disapprove of corporal punishment in schools as they do not want to see their children getting hurt physically. Thus, these actions are becoming less common, which is a good sign.

Students understand better when they learn with a free and calm mind. If one forces them to perform activities by physically hitting them, the overall result may be quite disappointing. It is possible that they will not be able to demonstrate their actual capabilities because of fear and stress. Being beaten in front of classmates can also be infuriating and insulting for some students, which may cause them to avoid school altogether.

The consequences of violent discipline are detrimental to students. It is undeniable that corporal punishment can cause physical injury and long-term mental distress to children. The use of physical punishment in childhood is associated with maladaptive behaviour patterns in later life, such as aggression or delinquency. Also, schools are more successful when they articulate nicely and do not get offensive with children when addressing the issues. Furthermore, when a child does an unacceptable act, other forms of punishment are available, such as suspension or expulsion rather than correcting with physical force.

Although some believe that corporal punishment can help improve a child’s behaviour, in my opinion, it is more important to teach a child with love and patience.

In conclusion, physically hitting a child will not necessarily improve their behaviour, as some children may become more aggressive and stubborn . They need to be treated gently and respectfully.

Corporal punishment has been practiced in family for a long time Nowadays many people strongly oppose it Discuss both sides and give your opinion

Corporal punishment is a term which exists from the ancient times. families use this thinking that their children will become disciplined. they consider it an easy tool to get them on track. but, nowadays some parents have realised the bad effect caused by the continuous usage of this tool. I will discuss about this in more detail and elaborate it further. In my opinion, any kind of abuse is bad whether physical or mental. As, it will hamper the growth and psychology of the particular person. Nowadays, pupils are actually quiet smart than the previous generation as they have the Internet and digital platforms to make them understand about any kind of situation happening around. In the earlier times, parents have to spank or beat their offsprings in order to make them realise their mistakes so that they won't repeat the same again. Teachers were strict in schools and punish the students with rulers or slaps if they create nuisance or neglected their homework. it worked in that era because the kids at that period of time were quiet naive and thought this was for their betterment. I belief in today's scenario young people are quiet responsible and sensitive. Even if they make a mistake they immediately try to correct it and apologise for it. Although, some problems are easily corrected but if they done something bad, a fair chance should be given them to improve themselves. In different researches today it has been seen that the toddlers who have suffered any kind of physical abuse in childhood are more likely to become anti-social, insensitive, brash and the worst they will inflict the same pain to their own child after becoming parents themselves. Times have now changed and parents understand that corporal punishment is not a good solution to a child's problem as it will instill a fear in their pupil's mind and they will feel disconnected with their own parents. The biggest reason is a growing teenager if punished infront of his family and siblings will align himself in a bad company and substance abuse to find comfort. To sum up, I think corporal punishment in earlier times might be a great solution to manage peers but in this age and time it is bad and wrong technique to manage a growing child.

Physical punishment to children

• by Courage IELTS
• January 10, 2024 January 22, 2024

Although it is generally illegal, physical punishment continues in many countries. Some argue that parents should have the right to punish their children in this way.

Do you agree or disagree?

Despite being against the law in most countries, some traditional parents argue that they should be able to use physical punishments as disciplinary measures. In my opinion, although corporal punishment is effective to a certain extent, it should be illegal due to serious developmental damage . 

Proponents of physical punishments typically point to the principle of deterrence . Parents may resort to physically punishing their children in order to engender immediate positive results and directly prevent misbehavior . This approach is in stark contrast to having open and honest conversations, which requires patience to achieve tangible outcomes . The effectiveness of these punishments are backed by anecdotal evidence as many well-behaved and respectful individuals from previous generations were disciplined this way. As long as no serious injuries result , modern society often accepts these punishments as being a parental right . 

However, I think parents should still not be permitted to physically punish their children due to the potential for severe injuries . In many cases, parents fail to control their anger when hitting their children and therefore cause cuts, bruises and potentially scars on children’s bodies. Some parents may even use an implement such as a belt, slipper or cane, which can lead to more serious injuries . This can fuel resentment towards one’s parents and creates pent-up aggression, which may then be misdirected towards others . The best evidence of this is statistics that overwhelmingly show children who engage in antisocial behavior such as fighting and bullying others at school are likely to suffer from some forms of domestic violence .  

In conclusion, despite sometimes being considered as a traditionally effective way of enforcing certain behaviors, I believe that the negative ramifications associated with corporal punishments make these disciplinary actions unequivocally unacceptable . Parents should never resort to violence and instead should engage in meaningful dialogues with their children.
