A Missouri school district has decided to reinstate corporal punishment in its classrooms, allowing students to be punished with a paddle under a new policy.
The school board approved the policy in June and notified parents that Missouri’s Cassville school district is bringing back spanking – a disciplinary measure abandoned by the district in 2001, according to the Springfield News Leader.
The change to reinstate spanking came after a survey sent to parents last year revealed they wanted additional discipline and was one of their major concerns, said Merlyn Johnson, Cassville school superintendent.
