Punishments for Cheating

There are multiple reasons why harsher punishments like corporal punishments is a good way to handle cheating. A reason why corporal punishments are good is that it is effective the behavior adjustments. According to a navajocodetalkersadmin" Corporal punishment is one of the quickest and effective ways to discipline a child who is acting up." (Navajocadetalkersadmin, navajocadetalker.org,2015). While having these punishments to help discipline the students is a good thing because then they would understand not to do it again. And having these types of punishments it can show the other students what the consequences are when they act up.

There is plenty of reason why harsher punishments like the corporal punishment are not the correct answer for cheating is that it inflicts long-term harm on both physically and mentally on children. According to Crystal Ayres " children who receive physical punishment for their problematic behaviors are more likely to respond with aggression and have problems with attention compared to students who receive other forms of consequences." (Crystal Ayres,connectisfund.org,2019). Having the corporal punishment can lead the students to be aggressive towards others because of how harsh the punishment that they got because they misbehaved.

I think that harsher punishments like the corporal punishment are not the right chose for the students that cheat because while the corporal punishment could make the students have aggression and also have problems as the result of using the type of punishment. I think that they should use other options that would not involve harming the students physically, and also mentally.
