The document discusses corporal punishment, which is defined as any physical punishment intended to cause pain or discomfort. It notes various physical and psychological consequences of corporal punishment, including lifelong damage, loss of interest in learning, increased absenteeism and dropout rates, and the normalization of violence. As alternatives, it suggests understanding factors that influence child behavior, meeting children's emotional needs, and establishing a teacher code of conduct. Positive discipline and non-violent conflict resolution are presented as more effective approaches that improve children's development and relationships.
The principle of non-violent upbringing comes down to three words: respect the child. The practical application of this respect is also easily defined: treat the child as we would want to be treated. The bulk of what a child learns, he learns by imitation as if he were a mirror, determined less by what we want him to learn than by how we act toward him. Do we want him to know how to love? Let's love him. That he respect others? Let's respect him. That he be patient and tolerant? Let's be patient and tolerant with him. That he never inflict violence once he has grown up? Let's never inflict violence on him. That he have an independent personality. Let's respect his independence to the maximum. Understanding this is within anyone's grasp.

You may have heard the famous saying of George Bernard Shaw - “To me the sole hope of human salvation lies in teaching.” As a civilization, we in India have always placed teachers in the highest echelons, next to God. And why not?
A teacher plays a crucial role in the life of an individual. A good teacher occupies a very significant and pious place in the minds of young students. After parents, it is the teacher who influences a child most, and contributes to the shaping of his or her personality.
As you are well aware, children in every society face abuse, violence and exploitation. If you only look around you, you will see it. Little children engaged in labour and deprived of schooling – many of them bonded-parents beating their children, teachers beating children in the classroom or discriminating against them because of their caste or religion, girl children not being allowed to be born or killed soon after birth, or facing discrimination in the family and society because they are girls, early marriage, rape and incest...
Yes, this is the reality of many children’s lives. Some of them may be in your class or your school.
As a teacher what will you do when you see a child being abused and exploited or hear about it?

Inclusive education is educating ALL students in age-appropriate general education classes in their neighborhood schools, with high quality instruction, interventions and supports so all students can be successful in the core curriculum. Inclusive schools have a collaborative and respectful school culture where students with disabilities are presumed to be competent, develop positive social relationships with peers, and are fully participating members of the school community. Inclusive education has grown from the belief that education is a basic human right and that it provides the foundation for a more just society. All learners have a right to education, regardless of their individual characteristics or difficulties. Inclusive education initiatives often have a particular focus on those groups, which, in the past, have been excluded from educational opportunities.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Definition of Corporal Punishment
The following definition, by the Committee on the Rights of the Child, is the most
widely accepted understanding of what we mean by corporal punishment:
“Any punishment in which physical force is used and intended to cause some
degree of pain or discomfort, however light. Most involves hitting (smacking,
slapping, spanking) children with the hand or with an implement—whip, stick,
belt, shoe, wooden spoon, etc. But it can also involve, for example, kicking,
shaking or throwing children, scratching, pinching, burning, scalding, or forced
ingestion (for example, washing children’s mouths out with soap or forcing
them to
swallow hot spices). In addition, there are other non-physical forms of
punishment
which are also cruel and degrading and thus incompatible with the Convention.
These include, for example, punishment which belittles, humiliates, denigrates,
scapegoats, threatens, scares or ridicules the child.”
3. Some facts about Corporal
Punishment
• It [corporal punishment] is too much and
happens every day and no one cares about it.
• When children grow up they keep what was
done to them in mind, and in the end they also
do the same to those younger than them,
especially at school.
4. Consequences of Corporal punishment
• Corporal punishment can lead to lifelong psychological
damage, such as depression, inhibition, rigidity,
heightened anxiety and suicidal thoughts.
• Corporal punishment causes children to lose interest in
learning. Children resent the learning experience and,
as a result, do not value education.
• Children learn to hate a subject or teacher. Education
doesn’t thrive when children live in fear of those who
teach them.
• School absenteeism and dropout increase. Children
lose interest and develop a negative attitude toward
schools and learning.
5. Continue……….
• Corporal punishment breeds cruelty and violence.
Violence breeds more violence. It is common
knowledge that a significant number of people who
commit crime and violence were physically punished
when they were children.
• Corporal punishment tarnishes the school’s image.
Some parents do not take their children to schools
known for degrading and humiliating children.
• It costs money to treat injured children. When children
are injured from corporal punishment, the school must
take responsibility for paying the medical expenses.
6. Types of Consequences
• Corporal punishment has physical consequences:
Teachers beat us badly when we are late, and yet we
come from far. My friend has scars where the teacher
hit her so hard.
10-year-old girl
• Corporal punishment has emotional and psychological
consequences :
What is left for me here? No one cares about me. They
torture me with words, and my heart is sick. It is better
that I die than live this way.
Words of 15-year-old girl

• Corporal punishment has behavioral consequences:
I become violent and beat other small children.
16-year-old boy
I feel so ashamed, shy, and feel lonely.
17-year-old girl
• Corporal punishment has developmental
consequences:
I don’t settle when I think they are going to beat me. My
brain closes. I just be as if I do not have life and quake
with fear a lot.

8. Why do adults use Corporal
Punishment
• Spare the rod and spoil the child : These adults believe that
by instilling fear in children, they can mould children’s value
systems and teach children to appreciate their heritage.
• Right Track of the above question: However, you cannot
force somebody to respect you or the ideas you represent.
Respect is earned by giving respect, role modeling and
helping children see for themselves the wisdom of
respecting those around them. Furthermore, if we want
children to respect culture and tradition, we have to help
children understand how culture and tradition enrich our
lives; we need to teach children about their heritage in a
manner that respects their dignity.
9. Continue……
• Without pain there is no gain: Many adults have been told
throughout their lives that learning occurs when associated with
pain. Our own schooling taught us to believe that without the
threat of the stick or a public rebuke, we will become lazy and not
exert the effort required to learn new things.
• Right Track of the above question: However, we now know that
positive reinforcement and compassion are more powerful
motivators for children (and adults!) than pain. Pain motivates a
behavior aimed at avoiding pain. It does not teach children how to
learn from their mistakes. When forced to learn under the threat of
a stick, children often memorize the correct answers instead of
internalizing the deeper logic about what makes those answers
correct. Over time, these children become poorer learners than
children who grasp the underlying principles. Deeper learning
requires effort and safety, not the threat of physical pain.
10. Continue………
• Good teachers are always in control of their students : We have
all learned from our environment that the only acceptable way
of relating to children is to exercise power over them, to control
them and make them comply with our wishes.
• Right Track of the above question: We must ask ourselves, is our
main goal to control children or to guide them on how to behave
and learn from their mistakes? If we threaten them, they may
comply due to fear of the punishment, but as soon as we
remove the threat, they will likely revert back to the original
behavior. Helpful teachers do not try to control children by
beating or shouting. Instead they strive to show children the
error in their behaviors and create an environment within which
children can learn from their mistakes.
11. Continue………
• I was beaten and I learned how to behave better :Many adults argue
that they were beaten and humiliated as children, and it did them
no harm. Furthermore, they argue that it helped them learn right
from wrong, and it showed that the adult who punished them loved
and cared for them.
• Right Track of the above question: As adults, we need to consider
why we hold this belief. Often, when experiencing abuse of power,
people focus only on avoiding pain and humiliation. They stop
thinking for themselves and they learn to conform—to agree with
the reasons they are given for the abusive behavior. If you were
beaten as a child, you were probably told repeatedly that it was for
your own good and that it would make you a better person. If a
person is abused regularly, it is natural for that person to think that
abuse is normal.
12. Continue………
• I only use corporal punishment sparingly: Many adults say that a light
slap or a few canes are useful ways to quickly resolve a conflict and to
show children they made a mistake. As long as the punishment does
not cause physical injury, many adults see nothing wrong with it.
• Right Track of the question: However, most of the damage of corporal
punishment is emotional and psychological. It is not about what you
do, but how the child experiences it. Even single slaps humiliate
children and insult their right to physical integrity. Imagine if you were
at work and your supervisor slapped you as a way of correcting your
mistake. The humiliation you would feel with one slap would be just as
damaging as five slaps. Although we cannot see emotional injury, it
often has more serious long-term consequences than physical injury.
Also, many adults underestimate the frequency and severity of their
punishments. It is hard to maintain clarity when you are angry, to
maintain awareness of whetheryou used a gentle slap or a hard one.
13. • The first step in finding alternatives to corporal
punishment is to understand the factors
influencing children’s behaviors that teacher
should have some code of conduct
14. • The Teacher’s Professional Code of Conduct provides
guidelines for governing behaviour regarding the teacher-learner
relationship, including the following:
• Teachers must ensure that a learner develops as an integral
whole (body, mind, soul, character and personality).
• Teachers must refrain from any kind of misconduct that will
harm the physical, mental and moral welfare of a learner.
• Teachers should not have any sexual relationship with a
learner.
• Teachers should not use a learner’s labour for private or
personal gain.
15. Second Alternative towards corporal
punishment is that we need to understand
what motivates children’s behavior if we want
to guide children by using alternatives to
corporal punishment.
16. • Just as children have basic physical needs, they also
have basic emotional and psychological needs. For
children to develop to their full potential, these
emotional and psychological needs must be met. These
needs include the following:
• The need to belong to the group they find themselves a
part of.
• The need to be accepted by people who matter the
most to them.
• The need to feel emotionally and physically secure.
• The need to feel respected by their peers.
17. • When teachers and administrators were asked why we
should use a positive discipline approach, they shared the
following thoughts:
• Corporal punishment is ineffective as a means of discipline.
There are positive ways to teach, correct or discipline
children that do not include physical and humiliating
punishments. These methods improve children’s
development and their relationships with their parents and
community.
• If we legitimize physical and humiliating punishments
through our actions, it becomes difficult to protect
children. We must show through our leadership that there
are no acceptable forms of violence against children
18. • Physical and humiliating punishments increase
the use of violence in society and make
violence acceptable in the eyes of subsequent
generations.
• A commitment to positive discipline teaches
children that violence isan unacceptable and
inappropriate strategy for resolving conflicts
or getting people to do what you want.
19. What is a good school?
• A good school provides an environment,
relationships and governance structures that
enable children to grow to their full potential. A
good school enables children to become
compassionate, responsible, creative and
thoughtful individuals. Consider the following
features of a good school:
• A good school educates the whole child.
• A good school uses positive discipline.
• A good school serves all children equally.
20. Why should we create good schools?
• Better behavior in the classroom
• Increased teacher satisfaction
• Improved classroom learning
• Better school reputation
• Greater contribution to communities and the
nation
• Shared confidence in doing the right thing
