Dear Editor,
I refer to the letter captioned “The Jamaican experience shows that corporal punishment does not work”, (08.03.12) by that concerned group which was very informative and should be given to every school and teacher. Also the information from UNICEF/UNESCO that was regularly published in Stabroek News Saturday Scene should be compiled and made available for study/discussion at schools.
It is becoming increasi ngly clear that flogging of children is a contributing factor to the spreading violence within societies. It is equally clear that the evidence submitted to support this claim is overwhelming.
