Thesis statement
When considering opinions of both sides, I am inclined to take sides with the latter. Corporal punishment is an infringement of children's rights. It should be forbidden in families and schools. Parents and teachers are engineers of children's souls therefore we should always love children, be patient to them and try our best to help them to develop in a correct direction.
Corporal punishment has been practiced in many schools and families for quite a long time. In recent years, people's attitudes towards this practice have undergone drastic changes. Nowadays, many people strongly oppose it. Should corporal punishment be abolished? The issue whether it is a useful part of discipline or an infringement of children's rights has aroused a heated discussion all over the world. Corporal punishment is defined as the use of physical force with the intention of making children experience pain, but not injury, for purposes of correction or control of the children's behavior (Straus, 1994, p.

Strength in points, research work adequate, but Grammatical errors aplenty
If I were asked to mark this report, I'd give it a 60 purely due to its use of english - grammatical errors especially and premature language use eg. "some children may be naughty, but they are not really bad children". More obvious ones would be "They may learn to resort to violence and become against teachers". Ideas were not conveyed clearly and insights and reflections only prodded at the surface i.e. not deep enough. To correct grammatical errors in the short term, typing it in Microsoft word first would help a lot, although its not really advisable in the long run. For language use, the author could read widely and pick up point in the process.
