I believe it's only in the United States that students cannot have corporal punishment in school. Perhaps in parochial schools they still have the slapping on the palm of the hand with the ruler, but in public schools you can't do that. I had group students from Taiwan and they said "you mean you're not going to throw erasers at us?" I said, "no, they'd lock me up" and they said "really?" But they do enforce physical punishment outside of the United States, that's perfectly alright.
