Corporal Punishment, a Persistent Practice [Webinar]

Corporal Punishment, a Persistent Practice   [Webinar]
Corporal Punishment: A Persistent Practice
Corporal punishment has declined so rapidly in the United States in the last 15 years that many people think it's practically nonexistent in modern American public schools. But 109,000 students were paddled, swatted, or otherwise physically punished in U.S. classrooms in 2013-14, and the practice is only banned by 29 of 50 states, according to an exclusive Education Week Research Center analysis.
Join us to learn the details behind this analysis. Our guests will also discuss research on the impact of corporal punishment, longer-term trends, and legal implications of the practice.
Underwriting for this webinar has been provided by the NoVo Foundation
