NoSpank.net – Against Violence In Education

NoSpank.netProject NoSpank is an ongoing effort which puts together parents and teachers to fight all forms of active physical violence in education (like spanking, flogging, and other forms of punishment), be it by parents, teachers, or any other elder. The site aims to help a very wide audience, from teachers and parents to policy makers and healthcare professionals, and in general anyone and everyone who is related to educating children by providing lots of information and resources, including advocacy groups, reading material and even cartoons and posters.

What I reckon to be the strongest point to this site is that the variety and depth of the information if very heterogeneous, which in turn means that the interests and concerns of very different backgrounds can be reached, whether to generate awareness, or to generate a change for pedagogues and policy makers. Another of the most interesting bits of the site is the witness area, where users will be able to read, listed and watch interviews to victims of physical violence, where they describe the many subtle and blunt ways in which physical punishment can take form. The site also hosts a Spanish-language version where users will be able to find limited materials in Spanish. NoSpank.net
