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.
