Spanking in preschool
saint:
Oh, and any adult who spanks my child had better be bigger and badder than me because I'm coming after them.
shmokes:
Better consult the list. It could be that they have the legal right to spank your kid regardless of how you feel about it, while you obviously have no similar right with respect to them.
One thing that I found interesting on the list was Utah. They outlawed it, unless the parent has given prior written consent to corporal punishment. Every other state is simply yes or no. Actually, Ohio also has an asterisk. It is legal there, but parents can opt out of it.

At that point I am not terribly concerned about the list. For those who are literally minded, I would not in fact physically assault someone who had spanked my child. I would bring down my parental wrath using whatever means were available to me.
In fact, in my state they do have the right to spank. No one would ever have the opportunity to spank my child twice...
Hoopz:
shmokes, did you find any info about pre-schools though?
I doubt it's easy to find if it's out there at all. :dunno

Exactly.
Damn, don't go to school in Alabama, apparently. Not sure how they collect those figures but apparently most of the kids getting school spanked in the US are in Alabama.
EDIT: if you transpose that info over a map of the US it breaks down exactly as I thought it would, sadly... there isn't a state that borders a state that borders a New England state that allows it.
