orporal issue to be B.C. deputy education minister, Walter Hardwick, has promised an early review of classroom discipline regulations in his response to a letter from School District 33 supporting a return to corporal punishment. At a previous meeting District 33 school trustees approved a motion urging the education department to seriously consider reinstating the strap in schools. The trustees' move came after similar views were expressed by the secondary and elementary administrators. In his response Dr.

Hardwick said the Chilliwack letter would be taken into account along with similar opinions expressed in a resolution passed at the recent annual general meeting of B.C. School Trustees Association. Dr. Hardwick noted that changes in regulations enacted several years ago have created a "somewhat sensitive and complex situation." Simply re-enacting previous regulations may not be the most effective educational solutions, he said. The deputy minister indicated the department has received reports from a number of districts and opinion is sharply divided on the questions of whether or not corporal punishment should be reinstated.
