A subset of kids may make your hypothesis accurate, but bad grades is not directly correlated to spanking. Bad grades can be learning disabilities, dyslexia, discalcula, ADHD, sickness causing missed classes, poor teacher, and so on...even with 100 percent parental support.

    From the scientific studies I am looked at their is a direct cause and effect relationship between spanking and bad grades. It is true that some kids can be spanked and not affected by it. I am pretty sure you will find high achievers with traumatic childhoods.

    It would more likely but correlation, not cause. Because the parent that spanka a lot out of anger not ask a consequence is going to be shitty at parenting in general and not provide support for learning nor get support for a child that needs help. If you instantly halted spanking it doesn't fix the type of parent, you'd still have kids dealing with a shit parent.

    I'm not condoning spanking. We had eras before any hands off thought, and the children had a wide range of achievement. I think its less impact then the overall environment and what the child is capable of. A parent that doesn't spank but tells their kid they are a pice of shit for being dumb, is just as impactful

    If you see in my post I cover the psychological injuries. I just think we live in a ridiculous time where the science shows how much damage spanking does and we still allow it. I think we definitely need to cover psychological damage as well. I think when a child starts to do poorly in school the first thing that needs to happen is they see a school psyologist's that assess whether the child is suffering from some kind of PTSD related symptoms. Instead the first thing that is done is a report card is given to a parent. The evidence is clear that 90% of Americans will use unhealthy ways to try to get the child to do better in school. Parents are more likely to make the problem worse. Yet, we have a law that states a parent has the right to raise a house hold as they see fit. This doesn't make sense to me.
