Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

It doesn't surprise me that it's still on the books at all, but it would surprise me to find out that there are public schools taking the risk of using it and incurring lawsuits. It seems more likely that the schools using it are private schools and that the parents who send their kids to those schools are aware and approve. Corporal punishment encompasses a lot more than just spanking, too, like the old ruler-smack on the palm of the hand or standing in the corner.
