How can I turn my intro into an conclution?
In the year 1977, the Supreme Court ruled schools may use Corporal Punishment in Ingraham versus Wright. The Supreme Court ruled that Corporal Punishment was permissible under the United States Constitution. Today, twenty-seven states banned the use of Corporal Punishment and twenty-three still allow the use of Corporal Punishment. “When you talk local officials, they point to the fact that it’s quick and it’s effective and its true. It doesn’t take much time to administer Corporal Punishment and you don’t have to hire someone to run a detention or an after school program” (Tracy Sabo). Corporal Punishment is used frequently in thirteen states: Missouri, Kentucky, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Florida. In 1998, there were 365,000 students struck by a paddle. Since then, the number had gone down. In 2008, there were around 200,000 students paddled. Corporal Punishment in schools is one of many things that people debate over. Some people please that children shouldn’t be paddled in schools. Others think the exact opposite. According to Alice Farmer, “Corporal Punishment is the only way to punish students. Suspending them doesn’t discourage them; it lets them out of school and into an unsupervised environment.”
