A total of 128 of the 803 participants who responded to the school corporal punishment question (16%) reported that they had experienced school corporal punishment. Participants’ responses indicated they were slightly more likely to have experienced school corporal punishment when they were in elementary school (11% of sample) compared with when they were in middle school (8%) or high school (6%; see Table 2). Considering all possible combinations of experience with corporal punishment across the three school levels, 52% of the participants reported they experienced it solely in one level (33% elementary school, 10% middle school, 9% high school), 19% experienced it in elementary and middle school, 3% in elementary and high school, 4% in middle and high school, and 23% experienced it in all three school levels. Participants also were almost equally likely to report they had seen or heard another student being corporally punished when they had been in elementary school (21% of participants), middle school (19%), or high school (21%).The participants who had been corporally punished in school were asked to recall the most recent time they experienced school corporal punishment (see Table 3). School corporal punishment was most often administered by principals or assistant principals (41%) or by teachers (39%). Staff administering the punishment were typically male (58%). Objects were used in 79% of the reported cases, with wooden paddles being most common (52%). Students reported being struck an average of two times when physically punished. The majority of participants reported some pain associated with the corporal punishment (82%), with one in four saying the punishment was “very” or “extremely” painful. In addition, 22% reported that they had received bruises or other injuries resulting from the corporal punishment. The most common emotional reactions to the punishment were embarrassment and anger.
