Corporal Punishment or Legalized Child Abuse?

Back in the day, when kids were caught cheating in my grade school, or Junior High/High School- you automatically got a zero on the assignment.
In College and University Schools you get a 0 in the class and often get kicked out
of the Deparment, College and University altogether. I agree with that policy.
Some schools have suspension policies, which I think would have been better for this child's alleged cheating, than a spanking by a Vice Principal Male.

Here is a new reason for your children not to cheat.

What do you think? Is this state mandated child abuse?
Should it be allowed?
In my opinion, I think it should not be allowed at all.

If you think it should be allowed, should the law of same gender punishment be enforced?
How do you feel about this?

Why are teachers hitting our children and students?
Trying to scare them into being honest in school?
I don't think it works.
