Realizing the severity and importanceof the current project was initiated to explain the views of parents and teachers on a Likert scale. A quantitative random survey research using a standardized instrument was carried out during 2020. Data were processed using descriptive and inferential statistical measures. Chi square test results revealed that there is a significant relationship between gender and spanking to discipline. However, Pearson’s and Spearman’s correlation do not show any significant relationship between the two variables. Both genders favour spanking to discipline children.
