The act of spanking is back on the cards for misbehaved students in Missouri

Parents in a small town in the U.S. state of Missouri have been notified about the return of corporal punishment in the classroom.

Cassville parents have reportedly been handed consent forms to sign. The policy explains how, and when the “use physical force as a method of correcting student behavior” can be used.

While teachers will not be permitted to strike a student’s head of face the policy does not specify the type of punishment allowed.

The school district behind the move said it will be used “only when all other alternative means of discipline have failed” and needs to be administered without any “chance of bodily injury or harm”.

Corporal punishment was used quite widely across the U.S. during the 19th and 20th Centuries but has since faded.

While the U.S. Supreme Court ruled it was constitutional in 1977, most states have prohibited the practice.

Around 19 U.S. still allow corporal punishment in the classroom.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
