The Source Of Corporal Punishment In Our Schools.
The Source Of Corporal Punishment In Our Schools.
We must say no to corporal and humiliating Punishment either in schools or at home. Corporal and humiliating punishment does more harm than good to us and the children. It does great significant harm to our children.
Corporal Punishment can cause depression to victims, mental problems, or mental health and to some extent, suicidal tendencies can be recorded. Corporal and Humiliating Punishment can cut short the mutual and lovely relationship that exists between Children and their teachers or parents. It is very dangerous, and we need to stop it. Corporal punishment can even lead to drug abuse as the child may be tempted to take tramadol and other illegal drugs to relieve the pain they are going through as a result of Corporal Punishment.
Note: Western World does not practice Corporal and Humiliating Punishment. But they are growing children who are disciplined and reformed. This is because they are training and guiding them on the right path.
We must know that some countries like Kenya, Togo, Benin, and countries, do not accept any form of Corporal and Humiliating Punishment. It is therefore on this note that the government of Ghana and Ghana Education Service (G.E.S) want all of us to say no to corporal punishment in schools and in our homes to help develop our children very well in other for them to be disciplined and reformed.
Corporal Punishment was introduced in Africa by the slave trade and colonial masters. This was only to help them strengthen their harsh and difficult system against the local people who will seek freedom. It is meant to inflict pain on them and to make them quiet and do whatever they are told to do.
In the olden days, Husbands can beat their Wives without facing court. But this is not so in order days. The husband cannot beat the wife these days and go free without facing the law.
Let me ask you this question.
How will you feel as a wife or a husband when your partner abuses you at home? Would you be happy?
Let us be in the shoes of the children. We are also abusing them, and they are not happy.
