I don't know what state you live in but In Illinois, corporal punishment is forbidden and it has been since I was in elementary school in the 50s, probably before then. Rightfully so.

I know you have a bet going on about your children getting assaulted at school, but I'd like a bet on the above statement. Spanking was still allowed in Illinois the 80's. Decision done by districts.

I have no bet with anyone. Just a little back and forth between two old posters here that need not be explained to people who are not involved.

You may be right about that, I was addressing the school systems in Cook county. I would have to do more research on others.

Now you can tell me if it is still allowed anywhere in Illinois since you claim to know so much about it.
