Punishments in School

Punishments in School

By Ryan Coiner

    

         Should punishment in school for cheating be increased? Some places like the United Kingdom are in favor of harsher punishments (UK ministers are declaring a clampdown of plagiarism and have set their cross hairs on both the students who plagiarise and the websites (i.e. "essay mills") that help them, ). So these people here in United Kingdom want there to be harsher punishments for cheating in school

     Corpral Punishment  is still done in 19 states of the U.S(Thats unacceptable. Schools should be safe and supportive  enviorments  for students, where they can learn and thrive, Doug Baldwin and Demario Davis,). The U.S. Supreme Court still ruled that  public schools still using  corpral punishment what not a cruel and unusual punishment and it does not violate constitutional rights. Every state dosen't agree that they should do corpral punishment whenever a student is caught cheating in school.

      I don't think that corpral punishment should be made harser for students that cheat. There are better ways to handle when a student dosen't behave the right way. When a kid is hit they might think it is ok to ok to hit someone else and then they go and do that to someone else and they learn to be aggressive. Students do need to have some type of punishment if they cheat. Maybe flunking a class and getting students to have to take it over would get students to understand that cheating is not a good way to get through and that they have to do the work even if it's hard.
