What is "corporal punishment"?

Corporal punishment refers to the physical punishment of a person, usually a student, through actions such as spanking, slapping, or hitting, often as a way to enforce discipline. It is a form of punishment used to correct behavior or enforce rules, but it is controversial due to concerns about its effectiveness and potential harm. Many countries and schools have banned corporal punishment due to its negative impact on students’ mental health and the potential for abuse. It has been largely replaced by other forms of discipline, such as detention or counseling.

What is "detention"?

Detention is a disciplinary action where a student is required to stay at school beyond regular hours as a consequence for misbehavior or failure to follow rules. During detention, the student is typically expected to sit quietly, complete assignments, or reflect on their actions. Detention can vary in length, from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the severity of the offense. It is often used as a corrective measure to discourage further misbehavior and to encourage responsibility and respect for rules.
