South Korea Bans Corporal Punishment in Seoul Schools
A ban on corporal punishment went into force in all schools in Seoul on Monday, South Korean officials said, despite protests from some teachers who fear the move will encourage indiscipline.

The spanking of very young children may be an appropriate locus for policy and legislative debates regarding corporal punishment,” researchers said.
