Abstract
In light of the Supreme Court's recent ruling in the case of Ingraham v. Wright, the use of corporal punishment has again captured the attention of educators. This article traces the legal bases of this disciplinary technique and examines the rationales used to support or oppose its employment. Particular concerns related to the prevalance of corporal punishment with exceptional children and the results of its use on children's learning and behavior are discussed. The authors suggest a moratorium be declared on its usage with exceptional children until such time as its efficacy has been demonstrated.
