Shift in discipline norms: Market for alternative educational solutions
A hypothetical reintroduction of corporal punishment, or even just the discussion of it, highlights a desire for more effective discipline in schools. This creates a market for alternative, positive behavior management programs, parent education workshops, emotional intelligence curricula, and non-physical discipline tools. EdTech companies could develop digital platforms for tracking student behavior and implementing reward systems, while consulting firms could offer training for educators in modern, humane discipline techniques.
