Abstract
In this chapter, selected state laws regarding corporal punishment practices will be addressed. Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas were chosen because those states were either having frequent corporal punishment incidents, a larger portion of rural students, or rural ethnic minority students in its student population or showing considerable decrease on corporal punishment incidents over the years. State laws were found from the documents of U.S. Department of Education, research papers and various reports on this issue. Trends of corporal punishment in schools were presented based on national reports and documents from the National Center for Education Statistics, reports, and data from the Office for Civil Rights (OCR).
