Editorial Reviews

Seunghee Han’s recent book, Corporal Punishment in Rural Schools … is particularly important because Han examines the practice of physical discipline in the learning environments where it is most common: America’s rural schools. … Han’s book on corporal punishment practices in rural schools adds to a growing body of literature and commentary on the physical discipline of children in schools.” (Richard Fossey, Teachers College Record, April, 2018)
